As Home IVs Grow, Medicare Patients Miss Out - WSJ.com


As Home IVs Grow, Medicare Patients Miss Out - WSJ.com:

"Growing numbers of patients needing intravenous medications are getting their treatments at home. But a gap in Medicare coverage is making it harder for older and sicker patients to swap hospital stays for home care.

Hundreds of new intravenous drugs and biologic products have come on the market in recent years to treat maladies such as infections, cancer and chronic diseases. Administering these medications at home generally costs $150 to $200 a day, far below the $1,500-to-$2,500-a-day cost of a typical inpatient hospital stay. Home-infusion therapy also eliminates the risk that patients will be exposed to infections caused by hospital bacteria that can invade through IV lines and catheters."

Hiring Felons As Senior Care Providers


According to KGO-TV's Michael Finney, "An alarming number of senior care providers in people's homes have felony convictions."

His news report is important for the following highlights:
  • Background checks conducted by the state under a new law passed last year have found nearly 1,000 convicted felons working or seeking jobs as caretakers for seniors and disabled in California.
  • Anybody can go out and call themselves a home care worker, put an ad in the paper, and they're not required to have a criminal background check, 
  • In 2008, the Legislature passed a law that provides at least some protection, but little is done to enforce it.
