Explain how a health insurance company may benifit financially if it were to encourage breast cancer screening?
HOW WOULD A HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY BENEFIT FINANCIALLY IF IT WERE TO ENCOURAGE ITS SUBSCRIBERS TO TAKE CONFIDENTIAL TESTS FOR BREAST CANCER SUSCEPTIBILITY. Oops sorry for the caps!

BEFORE THEY DECIDE ON SOMETHING THEY ALREADY HAD A BIG MEETING AND ANOTHER BIG MEETING OR CONFERENCE
WHATEVER THEY CALL IT.EACH GROUP WILL BENEFIT FROM EACH OTHER. EITHER
FROM REFERENCIAL AGREEMENT. THAT INCLUDES THE
(COULD BE) THE HOSPITAL, THE DOCTORS, AND THE
MANUFACTURERS.EVERYBODY GOT SOMETHING IN A DEAL..REMEMBER,
HEALTH IS THEIR BUSINESS.

Easy, they would catch the cancer before it would get worse and spreading… saving on chemo and radiation costs, saving on surgery and implants saving on wig costs and medication for 5 years…
They’d save so much money by simply screening.

If breast cancer is caught early the doctors can get it dealt with quickly, less time less cost.
BETTER CHANCE FOR TOTAL RECOVERY

I worked for over 20 yrs for a health insurer so I can answer this one for sure. The way that any preventative treatment helps the health insurance company is to pay less now instead of more later. So say you go get a mammogram for $300, and they find a small lump. They do a lumpectomy, and maybe put you on a prescription for awhile. If they got it all and you stay cancer free, then maybe the insurance company is out $10,000. But say you didn’t get the mammogram and by the time you feel it with your fingers and go get checked.. you might be talking months or years of chemo and radiation. Perhaps bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction. Then you are talking $100,000 or even more. So even though they have to pay for the mammograms, long term, it saves money.

Because if you were screened early and cancer was detected, you would have a much greater chance of survival and not need as much medical treatment than it it were an advanced case. You may be able to get by with a lumpectomy rather than a mastectomy, which is much less invasive and requires less money. Hence your insurance would save money.

Saving money by early detection is one reason.
Increasing quality of the practice of health care is another. Health insurance companies benefit by promoting healthy populations. A lot of people think that health plans don’t want to provide care, but that is not true. If populations are not healthy health plans would go out of business.
