Alzheimer’s Treatment Leqembi Gets Full FDA Approval

 


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted, for the first time, full, traditional approval for an Alzheimer’s medication that is designed to do more than treat the symptoms of the memory-robbing disease. 

The drug, lecanemab (brand name Leqembi), was shown in clinical trials to help slow the progression of , which affects more than 6.5 million older Americans and for which there is no cure.

Hospitals with Health Equity Factors Face Value-Based Penalties

 

Some hospitals with more medically complex patients, uncompensated care, and patients who live alone are more likely to receive a penalty under CMS value-based payment programs, according to a new study calling for change to the programs.


Larger hospitals, major teaching hospitals, and some hospital groups with higher disproportionate share hospital (DSH) percentages were more likely to be penalized in fiscal year (FY) 2015 and FY 2021, according to an analysis. This was especially true in the Hospital VBP Program.


Hospitals with the highest relative portion of uncompensated care cost were somewhat more likely to receive penalties.


Another very big problem hospitals struggle with are underpayments by insurers. GMG has the software (not for sale) to recoup these millions of dollars!


Access Discount Healthcare Underpayment Recovery for Hospitals, Urgent Cares and Large Primary Care shown program is now active (see sample from just 4 of the 712+ facilities that have enrolled.)

More healthcare surgical procedures are moving to the outpatient setting.

 Physicians often take surgical cases to hospitals, which drives up the overall cost of healthcare. By providing the surgeons an efficient, expedient service, they can better serve their patient populations and reduce the cost of healthcare industrywide. 

The interesting part about that is that hospitals typically get paid a lot more for the same surgeries than ambulatory surgery centers do, and because of that, the operating margin at a surgery center is usually a lot less.

Help is here now with Access Discount Healthcare Underpayment program.

This service is for Hospitals, Urgent Cares and Large Primary Care (minimum $2M annual in payer revenue with their top 3 payers)

A top challenge for the hospital industry.

 As healthcare has become digitized over the last five decades, a top challenge for the industry has been figuring out how to make patient data interoperable—i.e., making it possible to share patient information easily between different doctors and computer systems to improve care and reduce unnecessary spending.

The industry has made “huge progress” in the last decade, but, there are still tremendous inefficiencies when sharing information across the different facets of healthcare, making interoperability a very important topic along with underpayment to U.S. hospitals by their insurers!!

Just look at this example of savings for various size facilities here in the United States:

The healthcare industry has seen its fair share of upheaval in the last few years!!

 


This is a time when health officials encourage men to live healthier lives. With the CDC estimating that 13% of adult men are in “fair or poor health,” this is another reminder to schedule that doctor’s appointment you’ve been putting off, cut back on alcohol, and get moving. And remember, health is not just physical: Don’t downplay your mental health or be afraid to ask for help.

The healthcare industry has seen its fair share of upheaval in the last few years, with the Covid-19 pandemic prompting a push toward virtual care, an increase in unionization, and a greater emphasis on health equity.

Over the last three years, everybody’s world changed in healthcare.

Some hospitals have weathered the transformation in healthcare while overseeing some of health system’s largest projects to date, while the key has been to embrace the change. 

So, Hospitals, Urgent Cares and/or Large Primary Cares (with a minimum $2M annual in payer revenue with their top 3 payers) are sitting on millions in underpayments that can be recovered via a call with us.
