Waits To See Specialists In Boston Increased To Average Of 50 Days, Study Finds
The average time patients in Boston wait for an appointment to see a specialist has increased over the last five years to an average of 50 days and can be up to one year, despite the fact that the city has an "abundance" of specialists, according to a recent study, the Boston Globe reports. For the study, Merritt, Hawkins & Associates, a Texas-based consulting and physician recruiting firm, surveyed 1,162 physician offices in 15 metropolitan areas to try to re-create the situation of a new patient seeking a nonurgent appointment in five specialty areas -- cardiology, dermatology, family medicine, obstetrics-gynecology and orthopedic surgery. The average wait time in Boston is more than three weeks longer than any other city included in the study. The study determined that while Boston patients had the longest wait times for appointments to see dermatologists, ob-gyns and family practitioners, Dallas had the longest wait times to see orthopedic surgeons, followed by Boston. Miami, Minneapolis and San Diego all had longer wait times to see cardiologists than Boston.According to the study, while Boston patients have long faced delays, the problem may have been exacerbated by an increase in patients seeking care following the implementation of the 2006 Massachusetts health insurance law. While the study did not pinpoint a cause for longer wait times in Boston, the study"s authors wrote that the city"s experience "may signal what could happen nationally in the event that access to health care is expanded through health care reform."Brian Rossman, research director for Health Care for All, said the reason for long wait times also is because many specialists in Boston work for academic medical centers and do not see patients full time (Kowalczyk, Boston Globe, 5/15).

U.S. House Health Reform Bill Would Add Tens Of Millions To Health Coverage

Health reform legislation moving through the U.S. House of Representatives would reverse the continued and growing loss of health coverage by American families and would give millions of Americans the security of stable, quality, affordable coverage, according to a report released today by the consumer health organization Families USA. Titled "Coverage for America: We All Stand to Gain," and based on legislative analysis by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the report says that the House bill would add health coverage for 23 million people in 2013, the first year of implementation, and 37 million by 2019, the last year for which the CBO provided data. The Families USA report goes beyond CBO national figures, however, by providing state-by-state estimates of the increases in the number of people with health coverage in the key years 2013 and 2019. Under the House bill, every state will see a significant increase in the number of people with health coverage. The five states projected to have the largest gains in coverage are, in descending order: - California: 5,337,000 by 2019; - Texas: 4,647,000 by 2019; - Florida: 2,982,000 by 2019; - New York: 2,069,000 by 2019; and - Illinois: 1,387,000 by 2019. "The House health reform bill offers peace of mind to families across the country by guaranteeing affordable health coverage and care for virtually all Americans," said Ron Pollack, Executive Director of Families USA. "The House bill accomplishes this in several ways," Pollack said. "First, it stops insurance companies from discriminating against people with pre-existing health conditions. "Second, it offers substantial, sliding-scale subsidies so people can afford health coverage. Third, it limits the out-of-pocket costs families pay when a loved one gets sick. And fourth, it strengthens the safety net for our most economically vulnerable families. "By extending and protecting health coverage," he said, "it will lower health premiums for those people who currently have insurance. It will do so by reducing the so-called "hidden health tax" that gets tacked on to insurance premiums to pay for the care received by the uninsured-a hidden surcharge that averaged $1,017 for family coverage in 2008."
