A hematologic study of pregnant women in free and insurance hospital populations.

The prevalence of anemia among 631 women in late pregnancy was studied among two groups: those in the Medical Insurance Pregnancy Centre of the Alexandria clinic (320) and those in the free government hospitals (311). Some related demographic and social observations were also done. Complete medical and obstetric examinations and several laboratory tests were performed. Women in the insurance hospital had lower parity, smaller families, lower crowding index, better income and a healthier hematological picture than women in the free hospitals.

Comparison of uninsured and privately insured hospital patients. Condition on admission, resource use, and outcome.

To investigate the association between insurance status and condition on admission, resource use, and in-hospital mortality, we analyzed discharge abstracts for 592,598 patients hospitalized in 1987 in a national sample of hospitals. In 13 of 16 age-sex-race-specific cohorts, the uninsured had a 44% to 124% higher risk of in-hospital mortality at the time of admission than did the privately insured. After controlling for this difference, the actual in-hospital death rate was 1.2 to 3.2 times higher among uninsured patients in 11 of 16 cohorts. The uninsured also were 29% to 75% less likely to undergo each of five high-cost or high-discretion procedures and 50% less likely to have normal results on tissue pathology reports for biopsies performed during five of seven different endoscopic procedures. Our results suggest that insurance status is associated with a broad spectrum of aspects of hospital care.

Medicare and Medicaid; eligibility for premium hospital insurance; state buy-in agreements--HCFA. Final rule with comment period.

These rules-- 1. Set forth the requirements and procedures for certain individuals under age 65 to enroll and become entitled to Medicare Part A benefits through payment of monthly premiums; 2. Revise the rules on State buy-in for Medicare benefits to provide that-- After 1988, a State may, at any time, request a buy-in agreement or a modification of an existing agreement, including a modification under which the State may enroll a pay Part B premiums on behalf of a new buy-in coverage group--Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries (QMBs); and After 1989, a State may request and obtain a modification of an existing agreement, under which the State may also enroll QMB's in Part A and pay Part A premiums on their behalf. These amendments are necessary to conform HCFA rules to changes made by section 9010 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA '87), section 301 of the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988 (MCCA), and sections 6012 and 6013 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (OBRA '89). The purposes of the amendments are-- 1. To make it possible for certain disabled individuals to become entitled to Medicare Part A benefits that require payment of a monthly premium. The provisions apply to an individual under age 65 who loses entitlement to Medicare Part A without premiums because his or her earnings exceed the limit imposed for entitlement to social security disability benefits, on which Medicare Part A entitlement was based; and 2. To make available to States, for payment of premiums for QMBs, the administrative and cost efficiencies of the State buy-in procedures.
