UIHC task force leaves cause of higher Mission Cancer bills untouched

A small task force the Iowa Board of Regents assembled to review issues with patient billing after University of Iowa Health Care purchased the state's largest cancer treatment clinic says more could be done to help patients understand billing and access financial support. The task force, however, was not assigned to do anything about the biggest factor that has made former Mission Cancer & Blood patients' bills higher under UIHC. Dr. Denise Jamieson, UIHC vice president for medical affairs , told the regents at their Wednesday, Nov. 11, meeting in Ames the group examined communications with patients and billing and financial counseling. Jamieson said it determined UIHC could inform patients earlier about what they may owe, connect them with financial assistance and work with insurers, employers and others that play a role in out-of-pocket medical costs.

While Iowa basketball (2-1) had chances to grab a key nonconference win over Virginia Tech (3-0) on Tuesday night inside the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, the Hawkeyes ' shooting struggles from the floor and the free-throw line in regulation and overtime ultimately led to a 93-88 loss.
