HLT 205 Week 3 Assignment, Insurance and Reimbursement in the U.S. Health Care System Presentation

The focus of this assignment will be on the foundation and processes that have been established, bringing the U.S. health care system where it is today. You will also consider how current and future plans for financing and reimbursement are currently impacting cost and access of health care.

• How was health care insurance established in the United States?
• What is the purpose of different health care insurances? (i.e., private, group, self, public)
• What is cost sharing, and how has this impacted health care?
• What reimbursement methods are presently used? (e.g., bundled services, fee-for-service)
• What are retrospective and prospective reimbursements? What are some positives and negatives of each?
• Present and future national health expenditures. Provide a brief overview. How do they influence health care insurance at the present and how will they in the future?
