Scarce resource
- Imagine if there was a resource, that everyone needed, and there was only so much to go around.
- You would probably want to know that none of it is wasted, and all of it was used wisely.
- Well today managed medical care is like that.
- Imagine there is a population of a state which is alotted 10 million dollars for their healthcare for one year and there 22 million people sharing those dollars.
- And once the dollars were spent, no more healthcare could be purchased until next year.
- Now imagine you are one of those 22 million people and you want to make sure that if you have an emergency you can have the treatment or surgery needed. well for that to happen there has to be money. And for there to be money, someone must be a good sterward and make sure that none is wasted and that the fund holding that money only pay for medical care that is medically necessary.
- Pre-authorization does this, it properly stewards the money meant to provide medical care for those 22 million people.
