Health Insurance Benefits

Managers need to understand the impact on the financial
viability of a health service organization for providing care to the
uninsured or underinsured. Review the following case scenario and
provide a substantive 150 to 200 word response that thoroughly answers
each of the following questions:

Joe Smith is a 27- year-old Caucasian male who works two
part-time jobs for two different construction companies. Joe has been
having dizzy spells off and on for the past two months. While driving to
work one day, he loses consciousness and is involved in a motor vehicle
accident. Joe is admitted to your not-for-profit hospital with a broken
leg and multiple lacerations.

• Does Mr. Smith fit the typical profile for an uninsured person in the United States? Justify your answer.
• How will your hospital most likely be reimbursed for Mr. Smith’s medical care?
• During the recent economic downturn, your community has experienced
  unemployment rates of approximately 9%. What can be done to mitigate
  the effects of the financial impact to your organization?

Utilize at least one scholarly source, cited in correct APA
format that supports factual statements and conclusions about the
topic. Review several of your classmates’ posts.
