Government Regulations and Reimbursement
| |
|
|
Government regulations are expanding and government reimbursement is not keeping pace with the cost of care
producing more "red tape," providing less support.
|
|
|
• The government is expecting more from the healthcare system in the way of reporting and charity care while providing less in government support.
• These policies have real-life consequences for the cost, accessibility and even quality of healthcare in our communities - and Alegent Health is focused on helping our patients manage those consequences.

The Facts

|
|
Leadership changes as a part of America's political and governmental landscape, but the need for accessible, affordable quality healthcare for all Americans is on-going. Healthcare providers face incredible challenges in delivering care, while interacting effectively with the myriad of ever-increasing government programs and policies that regulate and impact the healthcare system.
As the storm of healthcare issues builds, the government expects more from the healthcare system in the way of reporting, accountability and charity care. At the same time, government reimbursement fails to keep pace with the cost of today's healthcare. More "red tape" and less government funding for mandated programs means higher healthcare costs.
