Managed care cost pressures threaten access for the uninsured. 管理式医疗的成本压力威胁着没有保险的人获得医疗服务的机会。
{"title":"Managed care cost pressures threaten access for the uninsured.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>People without health insurance have historically received medical care from the safety net, which among many kinds of providers includes physicians who voluntarily provide uncompensated care. With 43 million Americans uninsured today--a group that has grown by 1 million a year for the last decade--the health care safety net is increasingly critical as a way for the medically indigent to get services. However, there are signs that the safety net is weakening because of certain changes in the health care system.

Public health departments adapt to Medicaid managed care. 公共卫生部门适应医疗补助管理医疗。

Public health departments--which have acted as providers of primary care and other services for some Medicaid patients--are often not explicitly included in contracts between these designated Medicaid plans and the states. As a result, many of the 3,000 city and county public health agencies nationwide have lost both patients and significant revenue to plans. This Issue Brief describes how public health departments are adapting to this shift in state policy. According to our research conducted in 1997, many are de-emphasizing the delivery of direct health care services in favor of core public health functions, such as investigating community health problems and health promotion.
