How Claims Management Will Save Local Public Health

Maintain Services and Save Jobs

This whitepaper explains the potential revenue that public health clinics can recoup by filing claims with both public and private insurances.

While local health departments have historically been dependent upon federal funding to cover the multi-billion procurement costs of vaccinations, reduced budgets are threatening to eliminate essential health services for those who need it most. On the horizon, health reform legislation will increase Medicaid enrollment causing the demand for services offered by public health clinics to rise significantly. Medicaid members, along with larger portions of underinsured, uninsured and the insured who cannot procure vaccinations at private practices, are leading to the creation of a growing population that is dependent upon services that are quickly losing steam.

As the first in a series of white papers for local health departments, Local Health Departments: Survive or Thrive in 2012? presents readily available solutions to overcome the funding crisis. Public health clinics already posses the potential to increase accountability and vaccination rates through services offered today. While billing private and public insurance companies for medical services rendered is a cultural shift for many public health professionals, it is a necessary shift that will secure and protect the health of communities nationwide.
