Results show that the actual budgeted funding is not reliable to predict systems' uptake and that policy-makers are more likely to plan expenditures based on installation costs.
Plan expenditures were defined as all prescription costs that were not the patient's burden.
We can hypothesize that when drought is a predictable outcome, households have some capacity to plan expenditures thereby preventing them from being caught short financially.
The high cost group (having 2009 Safeway health plan expenditures within the top 10%% of the study population) were more than twice as costly with a mean paid claims amount of $8,683.
Generalized linear models were constructed to assess the association between LIS status (LIS, non-LIS/GC, and non-LIS/non-GC [reference group]) and dependent variables including a) expenditures (total, out-of-pocket, and plan expenditures), b) number of prescriptions and supply of medications, and c) proportion of days covered (PDC) of diabetes, anti-hypertensive, and lipid lowering prescriptions.
In this cross-sectional, retrospective analysis, we compared total and plan expenditures, out-of-pocket costs, and medication fills and adherence for three categories of Medicare beneficiaries: non-LIS beneficiaries without gap coverage (non-LIS/non-GC), non-LIS beneficiaries with gap coverage (non-LIS/GC), and LIS beneficiaries (LIS).
Compared to the reference group, total and plan expenditures on brand name medications were higher in the LIS and non-LIS/GC groups (p < 0.05 for all); however, out-of-pocket expenses on branded medications were lower for the LIS group (p < 0.01) and higher for the non-LIS/GC group (p < 0.05) relative to the reference group.
[East Village/The Local] The Manhattan borough president, Scott M. Stringer, wants to halt Columbia University's planned expenditure of $150 million in West Harlem.
The scandal cost the chief executive his job, while the company slashed planned expenditure by €1 billion and set aside close to €7 billion to cover the costs, including refitting 11 million cars worldwide.
Project plans, expenditure reports and team meetings will not, in and of themselves, guarantee project success.
