As reported by Chelsey Levingston in the blog Health Care Reforms Passed Start Today : Provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed by Congress March 23, also known as the health care reform law, go in effect today, Thursday, Sept. 23.
The provisions now effective are:
• Expansion of the dependent age up to 26 years. Until now, dependents were no longer covered by their parents’ or guardians’ insurance after 19 years of age, or if in college, after 23 years.
• No annual or lifetime dollar limits to amount of money spent on health services.
• No denying coverage to children under 19 years of age for preexisting conditions.
• Coverage for all preventative services with no co-pays.
This is according to Kelly McGivern, president and chief executive officer of the Ohio Association of Health Plans, who also said the new rules are expected to increase costs of insurance premiums 5 percent
Are you confused? “I have been in healthcare for 25 years and I am just not sure what it all means.” But I am looking forward to rolling up my sleeves and working through it.

Being in the trenches of healthcare as a practicing Chiropractor, I understand the challenges facing healthcare providers when it comes to collections. I also understand the importance of personal service when it comes to managing this portion of the business. Organization and structure are paramount when it comes to collections. The system you choose can be the difference between surviving and thriving in your business. Unfortunately, most companies attempting to address these concerns lack a thorough understanding of the needs of the small business. No company understands this better than Medical Account Solutions and no individual will take the time to understand and address your individual needs better than Bill Baylis. It's nice to finally have a face behind the name of an account solutions company. Thanks to Bill, the days of the "Red Tape" impersonal approach to managing collections are over. If you are looking for a solution to your collection challenges, please speak to Bill immediately...you'll be glad you did!
