Healthcare Market Resources’ New Data Negates Assumptions on In-House Home Health Agencies

Dresher, PA (PRWEB) June 15, 2012

In the Post-Obama Care realm, post-acute providers feel pressured to integrate services and optimize partnerships and alliances. Todays home health agencies, jockeying for position in order to become a preferred provider for their services, often feel like second class citizens to in-house or captive agencies.

Healthcare Market Resources, (HMR) a leading provider of custom market data for hospices and home health agencies, announces a new set of metrics to dispel the myths associated with hospital-based home health referrals.

Theres a commonly held belief in the home health industry, particularly among freestanding organizations, that hospital-based and hospital-affiliated home health agencies(HHAs) monopolize all the in-house referrals, Richard Chesney, HMR CEO said.

Healthcare Market Resources set out to examine that myth with a new analysis by linking Medicare hospital inpatient claims to home health admissions or readmissions within a four day window.

Based on an analysis of 2009 Medicare claims data, HMR was able to determine the specific home health agencies that patients went to from each hospital. The research goes beyond the boundaries of previous analysis which was limited to examining competition within a geographical area, explained Chesney. Our analysis gives insight into the referral patterns established by specific hospitals bringing market share analysis down to the micro level. More than 67% of the hospitals did not have a dominant provider.

Whether you operate in the state of Alaska with over 86% of high market share hospitals that year or in Louisiana with just over 6% of hospitals considered to have a dominant agency in 2009, the research details how hospitals behave in a particular market.

Healthcare Market Resources offers a glance at the state data used for its analysis with a comprehensive chart at http://www.healthmr.com/resources/highmarketsharehospitals. The data is an effective tool for home health agencies to discover referral opportunities to support their goals with strategies for growth in market share. Healthcare Market Resources new market research is inclusive of any hospital and can be leveraged by any home health agency.

A review of the data in a particular market can reveal that while some of the states in the highest quartile have CON restrictions on access, that regulatory-limited provider base did not automatically lead to a high percentage of single-agency dominated institutions.

Our data analysis can take into account that a hospital may attract patients beyond the service area of the captive agency or even go as far as to make note that in many metropolitan areas, patients can easily cross state lines to get care, while agencies cannot, Chesney explained. The research identifies the hospitals that have a dominant agency, with more than 70% market share, but this HHA may not be a captive organization

By effectively connecting our research with a custom report on your market, Home health agencies looking to expand their market share can now take their sales strategies to a micro level, Chesney said.

A sampling of the detail inherent in the state-specific report can be found at http://www.healthmr.com/resources/highmarketsharehospitals and additional descriptions of specific reports can be obtained by calling 215-657-7373.

The consistent takeaway from all of our data, regardless of the state you operate in, is that home health agencies that look at their market share based on assumptions or myths will be off the mark when it comes to meeting their quotas, Chesney stated.

New Infographics Released By HealthCompare Educates Today’s Health Insurance Consumers On Hardships

Orange, CA (PRWEB) June 11, 2012

HealthCompare has generated infographics to hep consumers make health insurance decision. Infographics are unique graphics that are growing in popularity across the web are known for utilizing images and colors to help make complex data from scientific reports, demographics, and studies to make them more easily understood by the casual reader. Reports such as the ones used in scientific studies often use jargon and unnecessary language that makes deciphering results difficult for those without the background for these terms. Infographics compress and compile numbers and meanings into aesthetically pleasing arrangements that illustrate rather than tell. They can also functionally layout arguments for debates, complex concepts or any other topic that could otherwise be considered difficult to understand.

These new graphics explain hardships that can effect consumers when it comes to medical coverage. HealthCompare is nationally recognized for caring about patient knowledge and choice. They want consumers to understand as much as possible when it comes to making decisions regarding coverage that suits their needs.

The infographics released in this series are:

Not All Health Insurance Comparisons Are Created Equal – Designed to illustrate how ineffective a poorly prepared quote and comparison can be

Why Is Health Insurance For Self-Employed Necessary – Designed to explain why self-employed people cannot afford to skip health insurance

Individual PPO Vs. Traditional Policies – Designed to illustrate the differences and similarities between PPOs and traditional policies

Where Can Consumers Find Affordable Medical Insurance – Designed to explain how to find affordable medical insurance

What is Private Health Insurance – Designed to educate consumers on what private health insurance actually means

Other infographics can be found here.

HealthCompare, a nationally recognized health insurance comparison site, is releasing new tools in their attempt to help Americans who are in search of health insurance. HealthCompare, who consistently displays concern for consumers, asks visitors that come to their site to ask themselves a series of questions before attempting to find health insurance coverage. These questions are designed to help shoppers decipher what type of coverage is best for them in terms of cost and type of policy.

The questions that HealthCompare encourages consumers to ask themselves are:

What are the consumers current health care needs? Do they currently require medication? Does the consumer have a pre-existing condition? Or are they seeking to start a family in the near future?

Does the financial state of the shopper allow for a lower deductible, thusly giving them a higher monthly premium? Or would having a high deductible (and therefore lower monthly premium) be more beneficial?

Is the consumers physician a factor? If they prefer to continue seeing their doctor of choice, HealthCompare helps them decide what policies allow that.

Are there any other health insurance options for the shopper, such as spouse or parent plan?

Once consumers get their quotes, HealthCompare then helps them narrow their decisions by prompting them to ask further questions, like:

How much will the policies being compared cost them from their pocket when considering deductibles, co-insurance, and co-pays?

What will the policies being compared offer in terms of maximum out-of-pocket expense?

Will the consumers office visits be covered?

Do any of the policies up for comparison offer maternity?

Is prescription drug coverage an option?

How much will the consumer pay for emergency services and ambulances?

Will the current primary physician and local hospitals be accepted under any of the policies being considered?

Health insurance costs are much more involved than mere premiums and buyers must carefully consider all out of pocket expenses to understand what their policies will ultimately cost them.

About Health Compare: HealthCompare was launched in 2009 to work with brokers and carriers to help individuals and families easily research, compare, buy, and enroll in the right health insurance plan at the right price. Based in Orange, Calif., it delivers accurate, customized, health insurance quotes for the country’s diverse population.

Through a unique partnership with its sister company, CONEXIS, HealthCompare has the ability to quickly reach thousands of COBRA-qualifying consumers and provide them with COBRA alternatives at the moment they become eligible for COBRA benefits. This provides these consumers with an opportunity to enroll in individual or family plans and potentially save hundreds to thousands of dollars on COBRA premiums and, at the same time, rewards referring brokers with referral fee income for the life of each policy.

HealthCompare is a nationally acclaimed health insurance comparison site that offers consumers something others in their field do not: compassion.

Through various means of education, HealthCompare has consistently demonstrated a need to help consumers.

Early on, they encouraged shoppers to delve deep into their needs and wants when it comes to coverage so they make informed decisions. They did this by asking questions that many consumers didnt consider when shopping for health insurance.

The questions they encouraged site visitors to ask were like:

What are the consumers current health care needs? Do they currently require medication? Does the consumer have a pre-existing condition? Or are they seeking to start a family in the near future?

Are there any other health insurance options for the shopper, such as spouse or parent plan?

By helping the visitor understand their needs, they are able to make better informed decisions about policies that they would actually benefit from.

Continuing their goal of education, HealthCompare, then, designed and released infographics that illustrate the difficulties associated with health insurance.

Understanding the inherent difficulty in their industry, they saw the benefit to consumers in their investing and releasing graphics that would make the hard-to-understand easy. These graphics use colors and images combined with data to help explain topics without the jargon.

Some of the infographics released are:

Getting An Online Health Insurance Quote Made Easy – Designed to aid consumers in getting an effective medical policy quote

Instant Health Insurance Quotes May Not Be All They Seem – Illustrates the need for consumers to be wary when accepting insurance quotes

Beware Of Instant Health Insurance – Conveys how some offers of instant health insurance may or may not be legitimate

Orange, California (PRWEB) August 01, 2012

The explosion of the ebook industry has lead HealthCompare, a nationally recognized health insurance comparison site, to release ebooks so they may educate and guide more consumers than ever.

HealthCompare began their journey toward insurance education when they began assisting website visitors with their decisions by leading them to their own answers by asking questions like:

What are the consumers current health care needs? Do they currently require medication? Does the consumer have a pre-existing condition? Or are they seeking to start a family in the near future?

Does the financial state of the shopper allow for a lower deductible, thusly giving them a higher monthly premium? Or would having a high deductible (and therefore lower monthly premium) be more beneficial?

HealthCompare is a nationally recognized health insurance comparison site that is releasing their own line of books to educate American health insurance consumers. Noting the large gap in health insurance knowledge among consumers, HealthCompare made it their mission to close that gap and teach consumers how to make their most effective choices in policies.

Infographics are tools that effectively distill the essentials of a complex topic into an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand format.

Orange, California (PRWEB) July 08, 2012

HealthCompare is a leader in the health insurance comparison industry, taking their compassion for consumers beyond the norm. They began to build their reputation for caring when visitors to their site were encouraged to educate themselves prior to continuing their search for the perfect policy.

The education they wanted to instill in shoppers who visited their website was a lesson in themselves. HealthCompare wanted the American people to learn as much as possible about themselves, their finances, and the health insurance industry. So they inspired people to answer the following questions about their situations:

What are the consumers current health care needs? Do they currently require medication? Does the consumer have a pre-existing condition? Or are they seeking to start a family in the near future?

Does the financial state of the shopper allow for a lower deductible, thus giving them a higher monthly premium? Or would having a high deductible (and therefore lower monthly premium) be more beneficial?

Is the consumers physician a factor? If they prefer to continue seeing their doctor of choice, HealthCompare helps them decide what policies allow that.

Are there any other health insurance options for the shopper, such as spouse or parent plan?

Once consumers get their quotes, HealthCompare then helps them narrow their decisions by prompting them to ask further questions, like:

How much will the policies being compared cost them from their pocket when considering deductibles, co-insurance, and co-pays?

How much will the consumer pay for emergency services and ambulances?

Will the current primary physician and local hospitals be accepted under any of the policies being considered?

Health insurance costs are much more involved than mere premiums and buyers must carefully consider all out of pocket expenses to understand what their policies will ultimately cost them.

HealthCompare understands this and wants every American consumer of insurance to understand this, too.

They continued to educate the public through useful tools called infographics.

These unusual type of graphics utilize bright colors and vivid images to depict otherwise complex topics in easy-to-read, easy-to-understand formats. Infographics are very popular for their sharing ability online and HealthCompare saw the advantage to using them early on.

They released a series of them to help illustrate the hardships health insurance can place on individuals and families.

Here are a few they released:

How To Find Affordable Individual Health Insurance – Designed to direct and educate health insurance consumers find individual health insurance thats more affordable

Buying Individual Health Insurance Effectively – Designed to help todays consumers choose health insurance thats effective for them

Where To Look For The Cheapest Health Insurance – Created to help shoppers find the cheapest health insurance for their needs

However, more can be found here.

But HealthCompare is not stopping there.

They will utilize the ever-popular ebook format for their continuing education campaign.

With the explosion of ebooks and ereaders (due largely in part to the self-publishing industry), more Americans than ever are reading again. Ereaders have made books affordable and portable like never before. HealthCompare will use this avenue to reach consumers at all stages of life with their new materials aim to educate and empower the shoppers.

The first release will be in late July followed by weekly releases of a new title per week thereafter.

Does the financial state of the shopper allow for a lower deductible, thusly giving them a higher monthly premium? Or would having a high deductible (and therefore lower monthly premium) be more beneficial?

Is the consumers physician a factor? If they prefer to continue seeing their doctor of choice, HealthCompare helps them decide what policies allow that.

Are there any other health insurance options for the shopper, such as spouse or parent plan?

Once consumers get their quotes, HealthCompare then helps them narrow their decisions by prompting them to ask further questions, like:

How much will the policies being compared cost them from their pocket when considering deductibles, co-insurance, and co-pays?

Health insurance costs are much more involved than mere premiums and buyers must carefully consider all out of pocket expenses to understand what their policies will ultimately cost them.

However, HealthCompare did not stop there. They chose to continue educating American consumers through means like infographics.

Inforgraphics are aesthetically pleasing graphic images that use pictures and colors to depict complex data derived from scientific reports, demographics, case studies and more.

Such reports often bury the meaning of their results in difficult language causing the reader to get lost in their jargon. Seeing this inherent complexity in their industry, HealthCompare designed inforgraphics to help health insurance shoppers decipher the true meaning of the hardships that may be imposed by health insurance.

Some infographics they released are:

How To Find Affordable Health Insurance – Designed to help health insurance consumers find affordable health insurance

Buying Health Insurance – Designed to help todays health insurance shopper buy health insurance online

Finding Cheap Health Insurance – Created to educate consumers on the best ways to find cheap health insurance

What To Look For In Childrens Health Insurance – Designed to educate to help todays consumers ask the right questions about childrens health insurance

Find Health Insurance Online – Created to help health insurance shoppers to find effective health insurance online

Evolving from infographics, HealthCompare has chosen ebooks to be their next avenue of education for the consumers of health insurance.

With the explosion of ereaders and ebooks coupled with their affordability and portability, more shoppers than ever are reading again. HealthCompare has seen this as an opportunity to reach more consumers than ever. Their series of ebooks will begin a weekly release in July, 2012. And consumers can look for titles that will guide them to make the right decision no matter what their stage in life.

About Health Compare: HealthCompare was launched in 2009 to work with brokers and carriers to help individuals and families easily research, compare, buy, and enroll in the right health insurance plan at the right price. Based in Orange, Calif., it delivers accurate, customized, health insurance quotes for the country’s diverse population.

Through a unique partnership with its sister company, CONEXIS, HealthCompare has the ability to quickly reach thousands of COBRA-qualifying consumers and provide them with COBRA alternatives at the moment they become eligible for COBRA benefits. This provides these consumers with an opportunity to enroll in individual or family plans and potentially save hundreds to thousands of dollars on COBRA premiums and, at the same time, rewards referring brokers with referral fee income for the life of each policy.
