Employers Revamping Health Benefits for 2012 Employees


With the cost of employee health care benefits expected to increase in 2012 at more than twice the rate of inflation, large U.S. employers are planning to have workers share more of the cost, according to a survey by the National Business Group on Health, a nonprofit association of 329 mostly large U.S. employers.
The survey, based on responses from 83 of the nation’s largest corporations, was conducted in June 2011. It showed that more employers are adopting consumer directed health care plans and making other changes to their health benefits program as various components of the health care reform law take effect.
Employers estimate that their health care benefit costs will increase an average of 7.2 percent in 2012, according to the survey. That is slightly lower than the 7.4 percent average increase in 2011, but it’s on a higher base and outpaces sharply the U.S. economy’s anemic growth and business conditions.
Cost-Sharing StrategiesTo help control cost increases and begin driving costs down, employers are planning to use a wider variety of cost-sharing strategies in 2012, including:
Increasing the percentage that employees contribute to the premiums53% of respondents
Increase in-network deductibles39%
Increase out-of-network deductibles23%
Increase out-of-pocket maximums22%
Source: National Business Group on Health.
“Employers are facing a multitude of challenges posed by rising health care costs, the weak economy and the financial and administrative impact of complying with the new health reform law,” said Helen Darling, president and CEO of the National Business Group on Health. “As a result, employers are being much more aggressive in their use of cost-sharing techniques and cost-control programs and are making certain that employees have more reasons to be cost-sensitive health care consumers.”
Adopting Consumer Directed Health Care Plans
According to the survey, nearly three in four employers (73 percent) will offer employees at least one consumer directed health care plan (CDHP) in 2012, a sharp increase from 61 percent that offered a CDHP in 2011. In addition, 17 percent will have or move to a total replacement CDHP in 2012, where a CDHP is the only plan option.
The most common type of CDHP is a high-deductible plan with a health savings account (75 percent of respondents with a CDHP).
Promoting Family Members’ Health
The survey found that more than half of respondents (57 percent) provide employees’ spouses and domestic partners access to telephonic or online weight management coaches, while 54 percent provide access to online weight management tools. Approximately one-third of employers make these programs available to employees’ children.
Complying with Health Care Reform
Respondents were asked what changes they made or are planning to make as regulations from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act continue to come into effect. The survey found the following:
• Annual benefit limits. The majority of employers (59 percent) are not making any changes for 2012 (full restrictions on benefit limits will be banned in 2014). However, more than one-fourth (27 percent) are making changes to annual limits for preventive and wellness services. Another 14 percent are making changes to annual limits for mental health and substance abuse services.
• Grandfather status. Nearly one-fourth (23 percent) will have at least one plan option that keeps its grandfather status in 2012, while 19 percent will drop grandfather status. About one-half (49 percent) did not have any plan option in grandfather status in 2011.
• Default plan for new hires. More than one-fourth (27 percent) expect to use their least costly health plan for employees as their default plan for new full-time hires as required in 2014. Slightly fewer (19 percent) plan to use the least costly plan for employers as the default plan.
“Employers understand that affordability is tied to employees’ premium costs and household incomes, so they have two strong arguments for aggressively driving down costs—both theirs and employees,” said Darling. “That said, the federal government has to start helping reduce costs, too. Like the national debt crisis that we are struggling to solve, we have to solve the health care cost crisis, which is seriously undermining our economy, businesses’ abilities to create jobs, working families, our global competitiveness and our standard of living. This is our other national crisis, and they are so intertwined that if we don’t reduce costs and medical [cost] trend, we will continue to barrel toward insolvency,” she concluded.

Peyton Manning is Receiving Stem Cell Therapy Abroad

Peyton Manning receives stem cell therapy abroad in an effort to avoid another surgery on his neck, but the procedure isn’t effective, and the Colts QB requires his third neck surgery in 19 months.

Peyton Manning is Receiving Stem Cell Therapy Abroad

Peyton Manning receives stem cell therapy in an effort to avoid another surgery on his neck, but the procedure isn't effective, and the Colts QB requires his third neck surgery in 19 months.
Peyton Manning’s trip to Europe to receive stem cell therapy on his ailing neck is the latest attempt by an elite athlete seeking to expedite recovery from injury using a controversial medical procedure.

A Fox Sports report Sunday detailed how the Colts quarterback and four-time league MVP sought the stem cell therapy after two surgeries on his neck did not help address a painful bulging disk. He had another surgery recently, the third in 19 months, and it’s unclear if Manning will be healthy enough to play this season.

While the NFL does not prohibit stem cell therapy – “unless a banned substance is used as part of the procedure,” said an NFL spokesman – the treatment is not approved in the U.S., and it is still very much a developing science.
A California biotechnology company, Geron, has received FDA approval to conduct clinical trials of embryonic stem cell therapy on humans with spinal cord injuries. And Dr. Barth Green, who founded the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, says his center is in the final stages of getting FDA approval to treat spinal cord injuries with Schwann cells – adult, peripheral nerve cells that help with regeneration. But athletes such as Manning and Yankees pitcher Bartolo Colon aren’t waiting around for approvals, and sports medicine procedures such as stem cell and the wildly popular platelet-rich plasma therapies are booming as a result of athletes seeking quick remedies to return to competition.

Stem cell and PRP therapies are sparking debate among doctors about their efficacy and whether or not introducing substances such as human growth hormone into either procedure will improve the results. Even more daunting for the war on doping in sports is whether the treatments cross the line between healing injuries and enhancing performance.

“It’s a dicey issue,” says Dr. Ken Mautner, a sports medicine physician at Emory University. Mautner has been using PRP therapy for three years, but says he has never used HGH on his patients. “When you’re dealing with pro athletes, you can’t use (HGH) in any capacity. But with the regenerative type of medicine, I think that’s where the whole sports field may be going.”

Green, the Miami Project co-founder, told the Daily News it’s unusual that Manning would seek stem cell therapy for that type of injury since “there’s no evidence that stem cell treatment can help repair a bulging disk or help a patient recover from” that type of injury.

“People go all around the world to get stem cell treatment for arthritis, degenerative disk, hair loss, and think that is the answer,” says Green. “The best treatment for a bulging disk is surgery and physical therapy. Usually a patient can recover in about three months.”

Sickness and Kids at School to Children in the Hospital, What Spreads?


With school back in session, children are busy meeting their teachers, learning new subjects, making friends and in some cases, sharing germs. It’s that time of year again, parents. Here are some symptoms of illness to look for:
  • Runny nose
  • Frequent cough or sneezing
  • Fever
  • Fussiness or change in temperament
  • Achy muscles
  • Fatigue or exhaustion
  • Change in general appearance (dark circles under the eyes, swollen glands, paler skin tone, etc.)
Many kids experience sickness when they are toddlers because, well, let’s face it, they don’t know any better. So often, these little ones come into contact with saliva on toys and equipment and they don’t take every opportunity to wash their hands. While teachers may do everything that they can, sickness still spreads. If you have a toddler that regularly attends a preschool facility, expect that they might be sick every four to six weeks.

For those kids who are school-aged or in high school, expect that they will contract something during cold and flu season. This time is usually from October to March. Thankfully, there are some easy lessons that you can tips that your child can follow when preventing sickness at school:

1. Sharing drinks and food is a big “no, no”. Germs can be passed so quickly, even if you take a quick sip from a friend’s water bottle.
2. Washing your hands throughout the day is vital to staying healthy. Wash your hands before meals, after using the restroom and after touching public property such as computers, door knobs, light switches and banisters. It’s also a good idea to wash your hands after recess and gym class.
3. Should you need to cough or sneeze, do it into your nook of your elbow.
4. Carry antibacterial soap in your book bag and use when needed.
5. Keep your hands out of your face, especially out of your mouth, nose and eyes.

Okay, you’ve done all that you can to prevent your child from picking up an illness at school but she is still complaining about feeling “icky”. Chances are your child picked up a virus within the last five to seven days and this is the most common form of sickness for kids. Be sure to speak with your physician about the next steps in medical care.

It is common for parents to send their children to school without knowing that they have picked up something and will be passing it on to others. This cannot always be helped and if the sickness manifests itself, they do what they can to treat it.

Just be sure that if you know your child is sick, you get the proper care. Often times, parents cannot secure babysitting and their child attends school when they are sick. This is unfair to the child as well as to the student body and faculty.

Once a child enters high school, they may complain about school attendance policies and missing important classes and events when they are sick. Nothing is more important than their health so insist that he or she stay home to speed up the recovery process.

Should you need to visit a doctor’s office, it is important to note that your child continue practicing sickness prevention like washing their hands after the visit and keeping their hands away from their face.

In emergency situations where hospitalization is required, by all means get the help that you need but proceed with caution when it comes to prevention. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “hospital-acquired infections account for 1.7 million infections and 99,000 deaths annually.” All patients are at risk, especially children in the hospital. You can decrease the risk of sickness for your children in the hospital by following these steps when possible:
  • Insist that all health care staff and visitors wash their hands before entering your child’s hospital room.
  • Ask all visitors to stay home if they are sick.
  • Keep antibacterial soap handy during the visit.
Prevention is key to helping your children stay healthy in and about school.

Reasons Patients Seek Care at Medical Travel and Medical Tourism Destinations


The Reasons Patients Seek Care at Medical Travel and Medical Tourism Destinations is not only the cost savings. The growth of Medical Travel and Medical Tourism has many additional reasons not only for the under insured individual but also for implementing the new tag word called Consumer Directed Health Care or CDHC.
Although executives are certainly aware that some patients bypass their local hospital, clinic or ambulatory surgery center in their own town and are on the way to the airport to have care in other cities, via Consumer Directed Health Care. They may be somewhat surprised to learn that an increasing number of patients are traveling to a wide variety of destinations around the world for medical, surgical and dental care.

 

The Two Main Reasons Patients Seek Care at Medical Travel and Medical Tourism Destinations:

  • Lower costs
  • No insurance/inadequate insurance
  • Particularly patients from United States

 

Popular Procedures in Medical Travel and Medical Tourism:

  • Plastic and cosmetic surgery
  • Cosmetic dentistry/extensive dental reconstruction
  • Bariatric surgery and subsequent body contouring
  • Orthopedics / hip and joint replacement
  • Cardiac / heart surgeries
  • Gender reassignment procedures
  • Treatment of infertility

 

Additional Reasons for the Increase of Medical Travel and Medical Tourism

  • Avoid waiting lists
  • Countries with National Health Service
  • Particularly patients from Britain and Canada
  • Procedure not available in their home country
  • Newly developed procedures not approved by regulatory agencies
  • Stem cell therapy
  • Joint resurfacing
  • Artificial disc replacement (multi-level)
  • Procedures unavailable or restricted by society and/or legal system
  • Organ transplantation
  • In-vitro fertilization with donor eggs
  • Tourism and vacations
  • Luxurious accommodations and excellent service
  • Exotic vacation destinations and tax advantages
  • Privacy and confidentiality of the patient
