EPI Übernahme - Wir halten zusammen

es geht hier um ein Gesetz aus dem Jahre 2002, welches die Beseitigung von CRC zum Ziel hat mit den bekannten Maßnahmen, Stuhl, Spiegelung, etc.

Welche Kosten bei Übernahme entstehen, wie viele Patienten werden bei Kostenübernahme zusätzlich gescreened etc...interessanterweise verringern sich auch Steuereinnahmen. Also ein ganze Reihe von Faktoren, die beachtet werden müssen und Zeit bei vollständiger Berücksichtigung kosten. Auf so ein Kommunikationspapier warten wir jetzt...

CBO estimates that the direct cost of this mandate would equal about $110 million in 2003, about $240 million in 2004, and more in later years. Those amounts would not exceed the annual threshold established in UMRA ($115 million in 2002, adjusted annually for inflation) in the first year that the mandate would be effective, but would exceed the annual threshold in each of the subsequent four years.

CBO estimates that among enrollees between the ages of 50 and 64, about 210,000 additional insured colonoscopies and 67,000 additional insured flexible sigmoidoscopies would be performed in 2003. Among enrollees at high risk of colorectal cancer, about 4,600 additional insured colonoscopies would be performed in 2003. The numbers of additional procedures performed as a result of the bill’s enactment would grow in subsequent years.
CBO’s estimate also takes into account the costs of follow-up care for individuals who receive newly covered screening procedures. Those costs include the cost of removing polyps identified by the screening, the cost of treating perforations of the colon (a side effect of both the screening procedure and polyp removal), and the cost of more frequent colonoscopies for individuals who were identified as being at high risk through a screening procedure.
