A new survey from The Commonwealth Fund found that in the past year, 45% of insured adults in America received a bill or copayment for a service they thought should have been covered by their insurance. It happens more than you might think. It is reported that nearly 80% of medical bills are incorrect. How can you make sure you're only paying what you're supposed to? We have created a step-by-step guide on how to use the documents from your insurance company to check your medical bills for errors. https://lnkd.in/gJECXDvc We have created a video library to help you navigate your health care coverage: https://lnkd.in/g6TZnk-C Read more from The Commonwealth Fund: https://lnkd.in/gKZZsUmE #TAI #AllInAllInsured #HealthInsurance #MedicalBills #Kentucky
About us
Our goal is to raise awareness and encourage discussion for change to make healthcare coverage a reality for all. Where you live, where you work, and how much you earn should not determine whether or not you have health care. Affordable, high-quality health care should be available to everyone. irrespective of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, ableness, or socio-economic status. You have a right to health care. Health care decisions should be made between patients and their health care provider.

From KFF: Millions of Americans have come to rely on enhanced subsidies passed as part of the American Rescue Plan in 2021, with more people gaining Marketplace coverage since President Biden took office than had signed up for ACA Marketplace when the markets first launched in 2014. If the enhanced subsidies expire, almost all ACA Marketplace enrollees will experience steep increases in premium payments in 2026. https://lnkd.in/ekUnB8v8 #TAI #AllInAllInsured #HealthInsurance #ACA #Kentucky

Kentucky is tied for 40th in The Commonwealth Fund's 2024 State Scorecard on Women's Health and Reproductive Care.
A new Commonwealth Fund scorecard comparing state health system performance on women’s health and reproductive care reveals significant disparities across the U.S. In particular, researchers, Sara Collins, David Radley, Shreya Roy, PhD, Laurie Zephyrin, and Arnav Shah, find wide gaps between geographic regions and between racial and ethnic groups in deaths among women of reproductive age and in access to essential health services. The 2024 State Scorecard on Women’s Health and Reproductive Care is the Fund’s first comprehensive examination of women’s health care in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, based on the latest available data. Among the key findings: 📉 States with abortion restrictions have fewer maternity care providers. 📈 Rates of maternal deaths are highest in the Mississippi Delta region, which includes Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. 📊 Regional disparities in deaths of women of reproductive age are pronounced, with the highest death rates seen in the Southeast. The report raises concerns over the state of women’s health care and the ripple effects of the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Its findings suggest that disparities could widen, with impacts experienced most acutely by women of color and women with low income who live in states that have restricted access to comprehensive reproductive care.

The recent Supreme Court decision overturning “Chevron deference” has profound implications for health care. The ruling discards a 40-year-old standard for decision making that required federal courts to defer to reasonable agency decisions where federal law is silent or unclear. It ushers in a new era in which courts will not have to accept agency expertise in their review of federal regulations that are challenged in lawsuits. As a result of the decision, more regulations will be overturned, erecting a new barrier to implementing key health care protections affecting things like the affordability of prescription drugs in Medicare, eligibility rules for Medicaid beneficiaries, infectious disease control and public safety standards, and consumer protections for people in self-insured private employer-sponsored plans. A new KFF analysis examines the decision and assesses what is ahead. 👇 https://lnkd.in/ekCUH8ZM

#Kentucky is one of the states affected.
Consulting firm Deloitte dominates an important slice of government business: supplying eligibility system technology to states. A KFF Health News investigation of state eligibility systems found widespread problems. The technology has generated notices with errors, sent Medicaid paperwork to the wrong addresses, and been frozen for hours at a time, according to state audits, court documents, and interviews. While it can take months to fix problems, America’s poorest residents pay the price. 📝 : Rachana Pradhan and Samantha Liss https://lnkd.in/gSbKw4qQ
