Health Care : Medicare/Medicaid Programs, 1983-1994.
10.5
linear feet.
Arranged by subject.
Catalog Number: M202.6.2.5.2
Description:
Records in this series were generated from 1983 through 1994. Material
types include notes, memos, reports, correspondence, and impact statements.
Most document various aspects of the Medicare and Medicaid programs and
their place in yearly budget proposals. As both programs, particularly
Medicare, consume a substantial portion of the federal budget--in 1993
Medicare and Medicaid programs were expected to account for fifty percent
of the growth in the federal deficit through 1998--many of the files in
this series are about reducing the cost of these programs. Files on related
budget issues can be found in the Health Care Budget series. Files in
this series contain information relating to the specific features of health
care coverage by Medicare and Medicaid: inpatient and outpatient hospital
care, some nursing home care, home health care and hospice care information,
physician services, outpatient hospital services, treatment for specific
conditions such as end-stage renal disease, laboratory services, durable
medical equipment, health screening services for children, physician services,
prescription drug services, and others. Issues discussed are ways to maintain
the quality of services delivered, strategies for reducing costs and their
impacts, and the setting of eligibility levels. These files were maintained
by Christine Williams. Files on Medicare and Medicaid may also be found
in Health Care Reform, Health Care Budgets, and the Long-Term Care series.
Access Restrictions: Restricted until January 3, 2015.
