Self Pay Health Care

Self-pay is the basis upon which the healthcare financing system began. Patients paid physicians a fee-for-service. In its purest sense, the self-pay model includes only the physician and patient in the exchange of compensation for medical care provided. Over the years as healthcare financing arrangements have changed, entities paying a fee-for-service includes all payers-public and private. Some in the healthcare industry has referred to physician practices that do not accept health insurance as cash-only practices or self-pay patients. Self pay vastly reduces the traditional overhead expenses by not having to bill and abide by contractual requirements of third party payers. Further, collection rates may be higher with fewer bad debt expenses. Physicians in a pure self-pay practice may want to continue to see patients with private insurance who are willing to pay cash and submit their own claims. Before charging privately insured patients on a cash basis, the physician should determine that there are no contractual or legal restrictions on doing so. This will necessitate a review of existing contracts and state insurance regulations. Certain states protect enrollee’s in particular private insurance plans from being billed for any sums beyond what the insurance company pays, except for co-pays and deductibles. Some physicians have found the self-pay model a way to regain meaning in and control over their practices, as well as to reestablish a physician-patient relationship in which there is time to care. Another option to consider in not accepting health insurance is to combine a self-pay model with a retainer practice. This hybrid practice would allow patients who could not afford a monthly retainer fee, to still receive care in their personal medical home and only pay for the medical care provided. For more information on retainer fees, see the discussion paper on retainer practices.

Widely available over-the-counter (OTC) bactericidal products containing benzoyl peroxide treat mild to moderate acne. Other anti-bacterials are triclosan, or chlorhexidine gluconate, but these are often less effective despite having fewer side effects.

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is a thin or a fine-textured skin that reacts quickly to both heat and cold and therefore sunburns and windburns easily. It is commonly dry, delicate and prone to allergic reactions. Temperature changes, some detergents, cosmetics and alcohol (used on the skin) can all cause irritation, leaving the skin red and blotchy, with visible surface veins. The skin is the largest organ of the human body. Its size (about 20 square feet on an average sized adult) and external location make it susceptible to a wide variety of diseases, disorders, discolorations and growths, as well as to damage from the environment and the aging process.
