	Prudent Layperson Laws Improve Emergency Services Coverage; Not A Driver of Inappropriate Visits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		To correct this problem, 47 states have implemented a provision, known as a "prudent layperson" law, that requires the urgent nature of a patient's condition to be judged according to his symptoms that led him to seek emergency medical care, rather than by the patient's final diagnosis.
		"State prudent layperson laws, as this study points out, may be effective in preventing denials of coverage for emergency services, but there are still significant pockets where health insurers haven't changed their practices," said Dr. J.
		The study also describes the challenges insurers face in reviewing emergency department claims and determining whether the patient's reaction to symptoms is in fact "prudent." They noted that it was difficult to create an efficient automated review process based on patients' symptoms rather than the final diagnosis.

	1999_05 \| 'Will Prudent Layperson Please Report to the ER'
		Now that prudent layperson, both network and non-network, seems to be a fait accompli, AAHP has shifted gears to prevent its expansion into post-stabilization care, which is what the Democratic-sponsored Access to Emergency Medical Services Act (AEMSA) would do.
		The study determined the cost of mandated ER coverage that otherwise would be denied (in the absence of a prudent-layperson law) at between 13 cents and 26 cents per member per month (depending on the state).
		Meanwhile, with prudent layperson apparently on the way to becoming a national mandate, and with out-of-network post-stabilization care waiting in the wings, health plans are launching ambitious educational campaigns designed to teach members how, and how not, to use emergency services.

		It is this relationship that inexorably influences for the better the secular world, the only location the layperson has to work out his or her sanctity.
		Coming to see that the center of our being is God and that God has claims over us does not leave the layperson paralyzed with wonder to the detriment of a public commitment.
		From out of the depths of an ecclesial encounter with God, the layperson is sent on mission.

	Gospel Reflection by a Layperson?
		No. 65 continues: "It should be borne in mind that any previous norm that may have admitted non-ordained faithful to give the homily during the eucharistic celebration is to be considered abrogated by the norm of canon 767 §§1.
		No. 66 adds: "The prohibition of the admission of laypersons to preach within the Mass applies also to seminarians, students of theological disciplines, and those who have assumed the function of those known as 'pastoral assistants'; nor is there to be any exception for any other kind of layperson, or group, or community, or association."
		No "reflection" of any kind may be given by a layperson during Mass except for those brief, prepared commentaries that may introduce some parts of the celebration according to liturgical norms.

		In selecting a suitable person for extraordinary ministries of this kind when the priest is unable to do so, the order is: instituted acolyte, instituted lector, major seminarian, religious brother, nun, layperson of either sex (see the 1973 instruction "Immensae Caritatis").
		The function of the extraordinary minister of exposition is limited to the simple exposition or reposition of the Blessed Sacrament with a minimum of ceremonial, though the exposition may be accompanied by a eucharistic song.

		Through the eyes of a layperson, the mergers, in and of themselves, appear to be against public interest given the apparent loss in competition.
		I'm not sure who this hypothetical "layperson" is, but I suspect he's someone who is totally ignorant of economics.
		He's certainly ignorant about the industry he's being asked to centrally plan (as are the prosecutors and even Judge Sullivan.) And if that's the case, I don't think he should be the standard used to decide a question involving basic property rights.

	Has Prudent Layperson Legislation for Emergency Care Achieved Its Goals? - Shorenstein APARC
		The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and more recent initiatives in various states, now require that private health insurers, Medicare and Medicaid managed care organizations cover emergency room visits that fall under a so-called "prudent layperson standard," in which the definition of "emergency" is based on a reasonable layperson's interpretation of the presenting symptoms.
		The goal of this type of legislation has been to increase access to emergency care, but little research has examined the effects of this legislation on access.
		The project discussed in this Research in Progress seminar examines the relationship between the state-led "prudent layperson" mandates and emergency department visits, to determine whether this form of patient-protection legislation has achieved its goals.

	prudent layperson
		Many patients seek care in the emergency department only to have their insurance coverage denied because their insurance carrier decides that the emergency visit was not necessary.
		The classic example of this is a patient who thinks they are having a heart attack, but the doctors determines it was only heartburn.
		The Federal Government has provided protection for all Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries and many states and individual insurers have also adopted the "Prudent Layperson" definition for determining the need for care.
