Topic:
The healthcare industry is experiencing a sea change throughout the nation
- and in Idaho. Healthcare costs continue to rise - and the rate of the
increases is continuing to increase again. Medicare continues to increase
its rules for providers, while decreasing many of the reimbursements. The
Idaho Medicaid Program is exploring an overhaul. Over 70,000 Idahoans
enrolled in health care coverage through Your Health Idaho. Additional
fees and penalties are now being assessed on insured employers. Medical
research continues, at a significant cost.
What do all of these many changes mean for our State's healthcare system?
To learn the perspective of the agencies that regulate our local healthcare
system, come hear from executive leaders from the Idaho Departments of
Insurance and Health & Welfare.
