Public Intellectuals Program
PUBLIC INTELLECTUALS PROGRAM The National Committee on United States-China Relations’ Public Intellectuals Program is designed to nurture a new generation of China specialists who have the interest and potential to play significant roles as public intellectuals. The goal of the program is to upgrade the quality of the American public’s understanding of China by strengthening links among U.S. academics, policymakers, and opinion leaders. The first three rounds of the program (2005-13) were funded with grants from The Henry Luce Foundation and The Starr Foundation. The fourth and fifth rounds of the program (2014-18) are funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York. Through a varied set of activities, the program helps twenty young American China scholars and other specialists deepen and broaden their knowledge about China’s politics, economics, and society, and encourages them to use this knowledge to inform policy and public opinion. The multi-year enrichment opportunity is intended to complement the fellows’ primary academic or professional positions. It includes two meetings in Washington focusing on the D.C.-based China policy community; a meeting in San Francisco; trips to China as a cohort; participation in National Committee programs as scholar-escorts; access to a media coach who can assist fellows in writing and placing op-eds; and a requirement that the fellows organize local public education programs.

PERSAD_8.21.20 8/24/2020 11:43 AM EXPENSIVE PATIENTS, REINSURANCE, AND THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE REFORM Govind Persad* ABSTRACT In 2017, Americans spent over $3.4 trillion—nearly 18% of gross domestic product—on health care. This spending is unevenly distributed: Almost a quarter is spent on the costliest 1% of patients, and almost half on the costliest 5%. Most of these patients soon return to a lower percentile, but many continue to incur health care costs in the top percentiles year after year. This Article focuses on the challenges that persistently expensive patients present for health law and policy, and how fairly dividing their medical costs among payers illuminates fundamental normative choices about the design and reform of health insurance. In doing so, this Article draws on bioethical and health policy analyses of the fair distribution of medical costs, and examines how legal doctrine shapes health systems’ options for responding to expensive patients. -

Health Care Reform Preventive Services Coding Guide
Health Care Reform Preventive Services Coding Guide The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (HCERA) has designated the services listed below as preventive benefits and available with no cost-sharing when provided by an in-network provider for members of non-grandfathered health plans. In addition to the services listed below, your patient may have additional preventive care benefits covered under their health plan that may or may not be covered at 100%. Your patient should check their benefit booklet for details on these additional preventive care benefits. The following tables provide a quick reference guide for submitting claims for preventive services with a “well-person” diagnosis code as the primary (first) diagnosis on the claim. This information is intended as a reference tool for your convenience and is not a guarantee of payment. This guide is subject to change based on new or revised laws and/or regulations, additional guidance and/or BCBSNC medical policy. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Services must be billed with the appropriate diagnosis, at the line level of the claim (Block 24E), pursuant to industry standard coding guidelines. Preventive or screening services are intended for those who currently exhibit no signs or symptoms of disease. Services otherwise deemed preventive that are received in an inpatient setting, an emergency room, or that include additional procedures or diagnostic services may be subject to copayment, deductible and coinsurance. Submitting screening service codes (CPT, HCPCs, ICD-9 or ICD-10) when signs or symptoms are present constitutes inappropriate coding which could result in recoupment of monies paid to the provider for those services. -

Three decades of persistent economic growth in China has been accompanied by high income inequality, which may in turn be caused by the inequality of opportunity in education and health. -
Big Bang Health Care Reform — Does It Work?: the Case of Britain’S 1991 National Health Service Reforms
Big Bang Health Care Reform — Does It Work?: The Case of Britain’s 1991 National Health Service Reforms RUDOLF KLEIN University o f Bath, England ealth care reform has b e e n o n e of the worldwide epidemics of the 1990s. But among the many coun tries that have either attempted or contemplated the reform H of their health care systems (Hurst 1992; Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development 1994) Britain stands out from the rest. The reforms of the National Health Service (NHS) introduced in 1991 by Mrs. Thatcher’s Conservative government were driven by the much the same set of concerns and ideas that shaped the international vocabu lary of debate. In particular, they reflected the widely held belief that the best way of improving efficiency was to change the incentives to pro viders and that some form of marketlike competition was the best tool for achieving this aim (Saltman and van Otter 1992). In all these re spects, there was nothing all that special about Britain. What makes the British case special, and worthy of further study, however, is the ambi tious scope of the reforms and the relentless determination with which Mrs. Thatcher’s government implemented them. In the United States, the Clinton reforms plan foundered on the rocks of congressional oppo sition; in Sweden, a succession of local experiments and committees of inquiry failed to create a national consensus about the direction of health care policy; in the Netherlands, an ambitious plan of reform was The Milbank Quarterly, Vol. 73, No. 3, 1995 © 1995 Milbank Memorial Fund. -

Research Reports Online is intended to foster the network of scholarship in the history of philanthropy and to highlight the diverse range of materials and subjects covered in the collections at the RAC.

The Rockefeller-founded China Medical Board and the Rockefeller Foundation’s International Health Commission/Board/Division (hereafter, IHC/B/D) maintained operations in China from the early to mid-twentieth century. These efforts developed in close relation to Rockefeller-funded endeavors elsewhere in the world, though they soon adopted emphases and methods to address the particularities of the Chinese case. Although initially hindered by a highly volatile and violent political environment, by 1930, these Rockefeller-affiliated health philanthropies forged an enduring partnership with the Kuomintang (KMT or Chinese Nationalist Party)-led government founded in 1927. -
