Quote examples
John Sculley
American Businessman
We see healthcare shifting from a procedure reimbursement, where in this country doctors are reimbursed for how many procedures they conduct, to a world where people will be reimbursed for the outcomes - did the patient actually get better, and what was the total cost of the cycle of care.
Quote examples
Sebastian Thrun
German Scientist
I'd really love to see a business model for higher education going forward that is actually affordable, that uses modern technology to reach scale and quality and that really reimburses the services rendered in a way that's meaningful to everybody.
Quote examples
Ron Wyden
American Politician
Pay-for-procedure or fee-for-service reimbursement rewards doctors and hospitals for volume - not keeping patients healthy or being efficiency. Pay-for-Performance is clearly one tool that can change the incentives to reward quality.
Quote examples
Kathleen Sebelius
American Politician
The secretary actually already has a good deal of authority within the confines of the Affordable Care Act. Step one really is a question of whether or not HHS will continue to reimburse insurance companies for cost-sharing expenses.
Quote examples
Dean Ornish
American Educator
Meaningful health reform needs to provide incentives for physicians and other health professionals to teach their patients healthy ways of living rather than reimbursing primarily drugs and surgical interventions.
Quote examples
Ben Shapiro
American Author
The real problem with Obamacare has little to do with the number of people signing up, and a lot to do with the restrictions on insurance companies and reimbursement rates to doctors.
Quote examples
Charles Vest
American Educator
The term 'cost shifting,' as I use it, refers to those items in a university's budget that used to be reimbursed by the federal government but are no longer paid for by them.
Quote examples
Mike Quigley
American Politician
I have never been reimbursed at the federal level. Never want to be in a million years. To me, it's just not worth the red flag.
Quote examples
Nan Hayworth
American Politician
Doctors cannot afford to provide care at the rate of reimbursement that Medicare insists that they accept.
Quote examples
Scott Gottlieb
American Public Servant
More government control of doctors and their reimbursement schemes will only create more problems.
