Medical Director SevenStar OB/GYN Yorba Linda, California, United States
The financial support of medical care in the United States is in flux. For example, current models estimate that Medicare will be insolvent between 2028 and 2030 meaning that payroll taxes will not be able to finance Medicare in the near future. Given that many OB/GYN trainees have more than $250K in educational debt, it is crucial to educate them about the business of medicine. The presenter will share the resources he employs to educate his medical students and residents with the goal that attendees can deploy these resources with their trainees when they return home.
Learning Objectives:
To identify the historical factors that have resulted in the financing for Medicare and Medicaid
To recognize payment reform measures have been progressing in the US since the 1970s
to be aware of opportunities for educational loan repayment such as proposition 57 in California
