This is the way bovine insulin dies – not with a bang but a whimper. In July, Wockhardt, a UK pharmaceutical company, announced that it was stopping production of its Hypurin bovine-based insulin; there doesn’t appear to be another producer of the insulin formulation in the world. The company stated that it was shutting down production because it could no longer find a raw supply of materials needed for manufacturing the insulin; they warned that those who still used the product would need

Originally published on November 21, 2017 in “ Accounting Today ” . The IRS has been sending signals since the summer that it will be enforcing the Affordable Care Act’s employer mandate. Those signals have culminated in the IRS starting the process of sending letters to businesses with 50 or more full-time or full-time equivalent employees—referred to as Applicable Large Employers, or ALEs—on what they owe for failing to comply with the Affordable Care Act’s employer shared responsibility

For good reason, everyone dreads the experience of a hospital readmission for the same problem shortly after being discharged. Here, healthcare professionals, hospital administrators, insurance agents, and patients are all on the same page. So, any strategy that both reduces readmissions while improving patient health outcomes is something that all of these groups should investigate.

[link]. Expect insurers to accelerate programs and policies that cut costs and to push for value-based contracting as consumers demand more transparency in healthcare pricing. The past year has been an eventful one for payers, from the tumultuous Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchange markets to potential mega-mergers. Insurers continue, however, to keep their efforts focused on lowering healthcare costs where possible, with the intention that quality of care is not sacrificed.

They say that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone, a theory that may be true for the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It was just months ago when President Donald Trump pronounced the ACA as dead. The demise of the ACA or “Obamacare” has been his goal, even when replacement plans and quick-fix sabotage efforts continually failed.
