Hospitals and physician in California and across the nation are speculating about the possible impact of the new national health reform law, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Supporters of the improvement law predict that it will trim down pressure on hospital emergency departments because more residents will have health insurance coverage and normal access to medical care.
Nevertheless, some hospital executives notice that many current ED visitors have insurance but are too sick or annoyed to wait for an appointment.
The modification law also will increase eligibility for Medicaid programs, such as California Health Insurance . Since Medicaid reimburses contributors at lower rates than private insurers, hospitals could face increased stress to treat patients at the lowest charge per case.
Specialist say the Medicaid expansion might compel some hospitals to continue pursuing superior care consistency and other events aimed at boosting cost efficiency.
In addition, community health centers are gearing up for an influx of newly insured patients. The reform law offers $11 billion in capital improvement funds over five years to help such clinics expand their amenities by Girion, Los Angles Times.
