In Module One, you wrote a reflection journal on how you anticipated the course material would apply to your career goals. Looking back now, how will you apply the information that you learned to your career or to future classes? How has your perception changed throughout the course from that beginning reflection?
When responding to your classmates, reflect on their experiences and relate them to your own.

I had had to rewrite this reflection because my perception of what I learned here has changed dramatically with my final grade. I really felt like so many of my classmates were way above my knowledge level and that I had fallen into a discipline that was over my head. I realized early on I could only concentrate on this class and no others. I learned a great deal about coding, reimbursement, federal and state regulations as applied to healthcare reimbursement, but more importantly I began to understand how difficult it is to be a provider in these times. Having worked in health insurance and claims for a little while, I had a vague understanding of how codes were applied to reimbursement and I understood about pre-authorization, managed care, from a different perspective. I think my greatest takeaway from this class at this point is wanting to know more about reimbursement and understanding the importance of legislative influences on the industry. How it is so important that practice managers and doctors understand what is happening in the federal and state legislation, taking accountability for reporting functions. This course to be interesting and it brought together strategies and methods of reimbursement used in the healthcare industry. I was not aware of the benchmarking opportunities available to practitioners and specialties. While there are a multitude of payment models, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid has created a value-based repayment system where incentives have become an important reimbursement consideration. Private insurers are following CMS lead in developing value-based bundled programs that support treatment and self-management in several areas of care which I found interesting, since I just recently received my MPH degree. I do not have the experiences many of the people in this program have and so I found the class to be very challenging. I really believe that our professor is outstanding and very dedicated to help all students succeed in the class.
I am trying to stay focused as I have reconsidered staying in this program. I do not know if I will work in a practice environment but as a healthcare customer service agent in a healthcare third-party payer system, I still believe this education can help me to advance in my career. I would like to learn more about how coding works and I am looking into membership with the AHIMA. I may have an option to work in utilization review in the future. I am excited now about what this class did for me. Thank you Professor for everything.

Hi class and happy 10th week, we made it!
In the initial journal, I wrote that this class would help me understand why the industry is shifting its reimbursement models. Working for a health plan this class has helped me build a greater understanding and knowledge about governmental policies related to reimbursement and how to research reputable and reliable sources. Understanding how financial principles, government policies, data reporting, and teams work and come together to improve an organization’s bottom line is important for all health care leaders to understand. I will apply the concepts of this class to my career to help explain to providers exactly how and why reimbursement has shifted. Having a deeper understanding and resources to refer to will help me network with providers for managed care health plans. This class has boosted my confidence and knowledge about healthcare reimbursement overall. Specific topics such as benchmarking a term I knew very little about. However, I can now continue further research by looking into data sets and networking from a performance-based perspective.
