Nonfinancial Barriers to the Receipt of Medical Care.

Klerman, Lorraine V.

Future of Children, v2 n2 p171-85 Win 1992

Discusses nonfinancial barriers to receiving medical care, including legal restrictions, geographic isolation and provider shortages, provider practices and policies, and personal circumstances. Suggests ways to reduce these barriers. These efforts should not wait for health care financing reforms, because nonfinancial barriers will continue even if financial barriers are reduced. (SLD)
