The Obama administration recently launched HealthCare.gov to promote new programs and insurance reforms in the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as the health reform law.
The site provides a breakdown of the law and gives physicians, patients and insurers a practical understanding of the reforms. After that - I couldn't find much utility for physician practices. I clicked on the "Health Care Providers" link to get the "new resources and support" that the ACA promises to provide, but the site offered only short summaries of the law. The landing page for providers was a dead end. Overall, the information was nice to have, but the info won't directly help a practice today.
For example, under "Talking to Your Patients About Health Reform" section of the providers page it mentions the annual wellness exam and preventative care without copays starting in 2011. Again, there's just a summary of the provision, there is not enough detail or explanation to help practices get ready for the initiatives or explain the new coverage to patients.
