Eye On Health Reform
In an ahead-of-print Eye On Health Reform article published today, Katie
Keith discusses several recent health care decisions
issued by the Supreme Court that will reshape access to care for decades
to come.
Keith recounts Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization,
summarizing the majority judicial opinions and discussing the ruling's
implications.
Keith describes the impact of Dobbs in states with "trigger" laws
where abortion bans went into immediate effect, writing that, "Dobbs
raises many questions and will unleash a tidal wave of federal and state
litigation over bodily autonomy and reproductive health care-from
abortion to miscarriage management to contraception to fertility
services."
Keith also discusses other recent Supreme Court decisions that have
implications for health and updates readers on happenings at the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Building on prior rules adopted throughout 2021, she reports HHS issued
its final 2023 notice of benefits and payment parameters rule and
accompanying materials pertaining to coverage under the Affordable Care
Act (ACA).
Read Keith's full breakdown of recent Supreme Court decisions and
federal health reform efforts today. For real-time coverage of health
reform topics from Keith and others, check out the Health Affairs
Forefront series, "Following The ACA

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Jeffrey Kang and coauthors respond to
two recent Forefront articles
and argue that, rather than abandoning disease-based risk adjustment in
Medicare Advantage, CMS should address coding intensity issues and
continue to move to physician-reported encounter data.
Mark Fendrick writes that prior authorization should be targeted
to the identification and prevention of services that do not produce
improved clinical outcomes.
Jacquelyn Chou and coauthors argue that appropriately recognizing and
accounting for the benefits of antiviral treatment
in economic evaluations is important to encouraging the future
innovation we may need for the next viral pandemic.
Laura Keohane and Ann Hwang highlight and analyze the Medicaid and CHIP
Payment and Access Commission's recommendations for states to develop
strategies for integrating Medicaid and Medicare
coverage for dually eligible beneficiaries.
