Course: SkillsCom CMA 200 15.0 > Section: Unit 2 Module 3

There are many changes occurring within the arena of health care and health care reform. One of the major reasons why the health care system in the United States is undergoing dramatic revision and reform had to do with the number of uninsured and/or underinsured individuals.  Another contributing factor and reason for this current dilemma resides in the cost of insurance and the cost of health care.

One increasingly popular concept is that of the Patient Centered Primary Care Home as a way to provide quality care, keep costs down, but still ensure adequate reimbursement for the provider.  Obviously in your role as a Coding and Reimbursement Special, reimbursement matters to you and your provider.
