What is It

Health services are usually offered by healthcare providers. “A

healthcare provider is a trained professional who provides people with

healthcare” (Meeks, et al., 2011). There are different types of healthcare

providers, such as:

The three types of healthcare providers are:

a. Health Professionals

-Individuals who are licensed to practice medicine and other allied

health programs. An example of a health professional is a physician.

b. Healthcare Facilities

-Healthcare facilities are places or institutions that offer healthcare

services. There are different types of healthcare facilities (Meeks, et

al., 2011).

1. Hospital It is an institution where people undergo medical

diagnosis, care and treatment.

2. Walk-In Surgery Center It is a facility that offers surgery without

the patient being admitted in the hospital.

3. Health Center The services in a health center cater to a specific

population with various health needs.

4. Extended Healthcare Facility A facility that provides treatment,

nursing care, and residential services to patients, often the

elderly.

c. Healthcare Insurance

-Health insurance is a financial agreement between an insurance

company and an individual or group for the payment of healthcare

costs” (Payne, et al., 2005). This also may pertain to a “protection

that provides benefits for sickness and injury” (Meeks, et al., 2011).

- Health insurance should cover standard risks of illness and injury

for family members. There are two types of expenses involved in

health insurance: covered expense and exclusion. Covered expense

refer to the coverage of medical services that can be paid by the

company issuing the health insurance. On the other hand,

exclusions are specific services that are not paid by the issuer.

10

Forms of health insurance are not all the same. It is

important to study the plan before availing it. Here are some

actions that may be taken to evaluate a health insurance (Meeks,

et al., 2011):

1. Obtain and carefully read a copy of the health insurance

plan.

2. Ask questions of representatives from the health

insurance plan.

3. Shop around for other options.

4. Choose plans that give the most comprehensive

coverage at the most affordable price.

Consumers receive health information, products, and services

from various sources; thus, individuals may be prone to frauds. An

example of which is quackery.

Quackery, a form of a health fraud, is any advertisement,

promotion, or sale of products and services that have not been

scientifically proven safe and effective (Meeks, et al, 2011). It is being

operated by a quack. A quack is an individual that has little or no

professional qualifications to practice medicine. He/She also

pretentiously uses meaningless medical jargon and relies on scare

tactics, paranoid accusations, and quick fixes.

There are three major characteristics of health quackery (Schaler

& Carroll, undated). First, it is a big business. A huge amount of money

is spent on fraudulent health products and services. Second, it

multiplies and spreads fast. Lastly, it thrives on individuals who are

diagnosed with illnesses that are known to have no cure.

The three forms of quackery are:

Medical quackery

- Medical quackery includes cures, treatments, and remedies of

various health conditions that are drugless or bloodless in

nature.

Nutrition quackery

- Nutrition quackery involves promotion of food fads and other

nutritional practices that claim to be all-natural. These are

believed to have beneficial properties of multiple plants in one

product.

11

Device quackery

- Device quackery makes use of miraculous gadgets (such as

dials, gauges, electrodes, magnets, and blinkers) that are

believed to cure certain health conditions.

When evaluating health information and products, you must check for:

1. CREDIBILITY - This tells about the source and recency of the information.

2. CONTENT - This tells about the accuracy, disclaimer, and completeness of information.

3. DISCLOSURE - This tells about the purpose and caveat of

the information.

4. INTERACTIVITY - This tells about the feedback mechanism

and means of information exchange between the source and the consumer.
