ORIGINAL: tazzygirl This may explain a part of why its cheaper... Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) March 20, 2007 -- Administration associated with health care claims and billing accounts for nearly one out of every three dollars that patients spend, according to a nationwide survey of executives from hospitals and insurance companies. In contrast, more than three-quarters (76 percent) of the U.S. consumers surveyed said they think that health care administration should account for just 10 percent or less of total health care costs, with a large majority indicating they would be 'highly upset' if those administrative costs were as high as 30 percent. Approximately eight in 10 consumers (79 percent) said they would like to see an itemization of the portion of their health care bills that goes to administration versus clinical care. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2007/03/prweb512786.htm Eliminate routine visits and low cost procedures that shouldnt be "insured" in the first place but only cost marginally less to administer as a major procedure and voila, problem solved.
