3 Things Wisconsin Hospitals Want U 2 Know

As Congress over turns the Affordable Care Act there are 3 things Wisconsin Hospitals want people to be aware of.  The changes at the hospital driven through the elimination of the Affordable Care Act may catch the user population by surprise. 

1. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement to hospitals is being reduced.  Regulations that eliminate payment for readmission stays creates a financial loss.  This is significant because Medicaid only reimburses a hospital for about 65 percent of the listed cost. 

2. Hospitals are now just a piece of the expanding delivery models.  So hospitals are part of a business organization that includes HMO's, doctor groups, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, home health care agencies.  Accounting departments explain there is no extra money today to operate.  So traditional margins no longer apply to the hospital practice of today.

3. Cancelling the Affordable Care Act eliminates a pay source for hospital services.  Hospitals will perform more un-paid care in Wisconsin.  Wisconsin hospital associations fear the number of uninsured could return to a 2013 level of 518,000 people.

As public funded (Medicare- Medicaid) insurance reduces reimbursement to Wisconsin hospitals the administration is challenged to create stronger revenue through private insurance plans.  Knowing this, the private health plans structure consumer contributions to compensate.  The influence of lower public funded reimbursement and hospital accounting loss will require more money from the consumer. This means those with health insurance will have higher out of pocket costs. 

The hospital accounting department will facilitate an internal fund to accommodate the increased expense of collecting money directly from their patients.  The hospital setting will begin to employ more in the accounting department- by eliminating non-essential services.  Attempts will be made to foster volunteer staffing for services deemed non-essential.

What this means to the Wisconsin consumer is that public funded care will be harder to get and the cost of care is going up.  Families will be forced to move acuity down the health care delivery continuum to maintain the house hold.  This simply means families need to shop for lower cost solutions to manage a persons illness related need.
