Show OCTOBER 12, 1983 Health Finance Alternatives Told To Drs. LAYTON Physicians in northern Davis County were told that the next five years will bring about a variety of alternative approaches to the financing of health care costs. W E WILL see more alter- natives in the next five years than we have seen in the previous 15, said Laroy J. vice president of Deseret Mutual, an insurance earner administering benefits for 60,000 subscribers. In an era of limited resources due to Van-Dyk- e. government spending, the public wdll demand efforts toward cost controls." Mr. VanDyke spoke at a GETTING INVOLVED By DONETA G.4THERIM LA YTON - A visit w ith th. mayor was a hopeful experience for two girl scouts uu1 their leaders. ' he members oi Troop 41 in Layton under the leadership of Mrs. Rubv Puce have been stud, mg li ic problems in the community. One concern the girls ir the troop had was safety problems for children who walk across busy intersections in the city. -- 1 THE GIRLS made an appointment with Layton Mavor Lewis G. Shields to question him about possible solutions to traffic problems. Why aren't there 20 mph speed signs by all schools? Sara W'ittmuss wondered. MAVOR Shields explained this was an understood state law It isn't necessary to put up signs by every school. Motorists are supposed to slow dow n when they approach a school that is in session. Girl Scouts Sara Wittmuss, left and Tina Thor-nocof Troop 411, discuss city safety problems with Layton Mayor Lewis G. Shields. Jackie Bell was not shown. were approaching schools. The Main Street and Gentile intersection was another area of concern to the girl scouts. They w ondered why a turn signal light couldnt be installed so people moving left from Main Street onto Gentile and people moving left from Gentile onto Mam Street could make turns safely. THE SCOUTS also believed it would be wise to install walk and Dont walk" signals on the side of these busy roads. Main Street is so wide. It is difficult for a pedestrian to make it across the street with one light change. Mayor Shields told the girls that both Main Street and Gentile are state roads. Layton City can do nothing to correct the problem. The city officials can make recommendations to the State Road Commission. . The girls understood the answer but they were concerned about the Antelope Drive speed near North Layton Junior High School and Lincoln Elementary. The girl scouts felt there should be a 20 mph sign there. MAYOR SHIELDS said he would get signs posted so motorists would know they seminar sponsored for the medical staff at Humana Hospital Davis North. The physicians retreat organized by the hospital also featured the installation of the hospitals new THE MAYOR explained many years ago, Layton City leaders requested that the State Road staff make a traffic survey of the intersection to see if turn lights could be installed. There has to be enough traffic to make the installation worth while. W'hen the survey was taken, the traffic flow wasnt heavy enough. The state wouldnt do anything about the light situation, Mayor Shields stated. There will be some big changes along Main Street medical staff officers. very soon," Mayor Shields told the scouts. The state has agreed to narrow down the width of the street. It will still be a four-lan- e road but the wide shoulders will be eliminated. The traffic lights will be moved to the side of the toad and put on arms that hang o er the street. This will start very soon. The work contracts have been given out." ACCORDING TO the Mayor, Layton City will use the wide shoulder area the state is giving up for angle parking. The islands in the middle of the road w ill be removed. Trees will be planted along the road from where the freeway off ramp is north to the Big 0 Tire Company. Tina Thornock wondered why all children weren't bussed to school. THE MAI OR said state law requires busing only when a child lives a mile and a half from the school. Sometimes busing is given if the w.dk to school is very dangeious and the distance is les than a mde and a half, the Mav i At the conclusion el informative discussion. M u ui Shields recommended that in, girl scouts and their parents make an appointment with the . police department. Public safety is the job of the police. They can help solve the prob- lems that concerned the scouts, dmg alternative in medical lmancing, the health maintenance organizations (H.MO s) have the draw back of limiting a patient's freedom to choose his or her own physician, said Mr. VanDyke. He suggested that the public would have more enthusiasm for a three-tieie- d approach A CURRENT allowing the patient to make the choice of benefits. Under that approach, he said, an insurance provider would set a specified limit for a medical procedure. If the patient wished to seek his own physician the provider would pay a certain amount, an estimated 70 percent. IF THE patient approached preauthorization and review of the case (including perhaps a second opinion from another physician), the provider v ould pay a higher percentage. If the patient further agreed to have tie procedure conducted by one ot the company's pre-i- i J pin iCians or pmvij-c.- s i.s .nsLi'unce company would pa e ,en a higher pei- - the provider for CCIilagk Such an approach would retain the patients freedom of choice in conducting his own affairs but would offer an incentive at the same time, said Mr. VanDyke.
