Write a 5-8 page exploring a case in your clinical practice specifically analyzing how the type of health insurance your patient has directly impacts (both positively and negatively) on your ability as a clinician to provide the most appropriate patient care. (For example, a patients’ private health insurance plan may have a strict pharmacy formulary in order to control for the high cost of pharmaceuticals in the US and you may struggle to find an appropriate pharmaceutical for the patient’s condition within their plan’s requirement). Please incorporate into
your Case Assignment how the Accountable Care Act affected this patient’s care and then evaluate whether this has a positive or negative impact on population health overall. (For example, the Accountable Care Act allowed children to remain on their parent’s employer sponsored private health insurance plan until the age of 26.
How might this part of the federal law positively and negatively impacted this cohort’s overall health).
