State, Personal Errors Lead To Wrongful Coverage Termination For Some Commonwealth Care Beneficiaries

�
Since January, Commonwealth Care coverage for tens of thousands of Massachusetts residents was wrongfully terminated either because of their have mistakes or errors made by the state, according to enrollment data, the Boston Globe reports. The enrollment data do not show how many people later re-enrolled in the program or how many of the cancellations were erroneous. State officials say that fewer than 100 residents' coverage policies whitethorn have been wrongly over, but lawyers and community of interests advocates state they get seen a consistent number of residents whose indemnity was wrongly rescinded by the state, the Globe reports.

Advocates said that some residents may have made errors patch completing the enrollment forms, which include complicated eligibility documents. Other reasons included wrong mailing addresses of residents and a mistaking of the residents' information. As a result, those whose insurance coverage was ended could "unwittingly rack up thousands of dollars in medical bills only to discover that those expenses will non be reimbursed," and the only room they could get reimbursed would be to file a lawsuit against the state, the Globe reports.

Melissa Boudreault, director of Commonwealth Care, aforementioned that the Connector's dining table was aware of fewer than 100 wrongful terminations. State regulators hope to conduct an overhaul of the large computer system that manages Commonwealth Care and MassHealth by January, which should alleviate the problem of wrongful reporting rescissions and efficiently provide reimbursements to those whose coverage was dropped, Boudreault said. She added, "If we ar made aware of an instance where medical debt was incurred, or mortal needs to see a doctor, we work on a item-by-item basis to resolve those issues."

Jennifer Kritz, a voice for MassHealth, said the state is updating its mailing system and revising the electric current documents for annual coverage renewal to make it easier to understand. Kritz said, "MassHealth is keenly aware of this issue and has a shared interest with members, providers and advocates to forbid disenrollments whenever possible."

The leaders of the two wellness insurance companies that provide coverage for most Commonwealth Care beneficiaries said that members ofttimes seem to be terminated by the state and then re-enroll in a plan several months later.

Barbara Anthony -- executive music director of Health Law Advocates, which has sued the state on behalf of some beneficiaries whose coverage was terminated -- aforesaid, "This is an offspring of equity," adding, "I think there would be a huge outcry by state government if a private insurance plan behaved that way" (Lazar, Boston Globe, 8/23).

Letter to the Editor
A late Boston Herald editorial notable that "wellness care rectify is on the job, with most a half million multitude newly insured person," but with "this success come challenges" because "the state budget is being strained as strong registration has driven up costs for health coverage," Massachusetts Administration and Finance Secretary Leslie Kirwan and Massachusetts Health and Human Services Secretary JudyAnn Bigby write in a Herald letter to the editor.

Kirwan and Bigby write, "We recognize and appreciate employers' role in expanding private insurance," only "just as many employers have stepped up in this compliments and consumers are paying more for state health coverage, we are request providers, wellness plans and businesses that have non done their fair share to do so," adding, "Otherwise, we are faced with baronial additional burdens on individual taxpayers or depleting our state's showery day militia." Kirwan and Bigby reason, "Along with cost containment initiatives, shared responsibility will enable us to attain the total promise of health charge reform" (Kirwan/Bigby, Boston Herald, 8/25).

Hot trends watch: EveryScape

As we know, Google Maps lets you view satellite images of just about anywhere in the world, and with its Street View function, you can even virtually cruise down the street and look in store windows. But that's so 2 seconds ago.

Now EveryScape actually walks you inside the building.

The mapping service, which opened its doors last October, experienced a surge in Google searches Monday morning, jumping to No. 4 on the Hot list.

Here is where EveryScape shines: Let's say you're planning to stay at the Mosaic Hotel in Beverly Hills. EveryScape will show you a 360-degree, ground-level perspective of the area, so you can scope out nearby restaurants -- Cool Basil is a popular Thai place within walking distance, and if you're in the mood for Italian, La Dolce Vita is less than a mile away and got great reviews from users. You can even get a peek inside the hotel's own eatery, an elegant looking spot decorated with a tapestry of brown and black -- or step outside to check out the poolside view, adorned with exotic greenery.

The site offers 360-degree street views for 14 major cities, including Beverly Hills and Laguna Beach. While there's still a significant gap between its coverage and Google Street View's more than 40 U.S. cities, EveryScape has ventured beyond our homeland's borders, mapping the streets of grand cities like Beijing and Krakow, Poland.

With a tool for previewing interiors and reading reviews, maybe EveryScape could save me from taking dates to restaurants I can't afford.
