Emily Payne is director, content analytics for ALM's Business & Finance Markets and former managing editor for BenefitsPRO. A Wisconsin native, she has spent the past decade writing and editing for various athletic and fitness publications. She holds an English degree and Business certificate from the University of Wisconsin.
The health insurer will contract with a different manufacturer of a less-addictive alternative and also hold the manufacturer responsible if the average dosage prescribed is above a set threshold.
Starting in 2018, the pay gap between company CEOs and employees will be public information. Preparing for employees' reaction tops employers' list of concerns.
Without reauthorization, nearly 9 million children as well as pregnant women who rely on the Children's Health Insurance Program would have lost access to care as states braced for the funding cuts.
Overall, use of medical services was down among HDPH plan participants, but that also included routine health services such as wellness visits and cancer screenings.
The Creating High-Quality Results and Outcomes Necessary to Improve Chronic (CHRONIC) Care Act amends how Medicare pays for various chronic conditions, in effect lowering the costs.
However, incentives alone appear insufficient to produce significant improvements in population levels of body mass index.
