Sinopse
Características

You get what you pay for. If only this were true! Too often, consumers find themselves paying much more than they expected, getting much less than they bargained for. Medical care is no exception. In the U.S. edition of this book - Solved! Curing Your Medical Insurance Problems - the authors showed American readers how to spot over-charges by providers, under-reimbursements by insurers, and inappropriate denials by insurers and government employees. Furthermore, they presented steps to take to prevent being victimized by the system. And what is the system? In America, it is a hybrid of private healthcare providers, massive insurance companies, and governments at the state and national levels. Unlike Britain with its single-payer National Health System, this public-private mixed-breed creates the need for patient advocate professionals, who take up the cudgels on behalf of the medically disadvantaged and the financially strapped. The material presented here may serve as an object lesson for those countries that would create or maintain mixed public-private financing and management of medical care.
