Research and Markets: El Paso, TX Healthcare Market Overview

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6jclsw/el_paso_tx) has announced the addition of Decision Resources, Inc's new report "El Paso, TX Healthcare Market Overview" to their offering.

An expansion of Fort Bliss northeast of El Paso is driving population growth in this market, particularly on the east side of the city. The opening of Paso Children's Hospital in 2012 has helped recruit pediatric specialists, but El Paso has a significant physician shortage. Other challenges for the local market include a 30 percent uninsured rate and a high unemployment rate. As part of the new Texas Medicaid waiver agreement with the federal government, local hospitals are proposing quality improvement initiatives to qualify for new Medicaid incentive payments; key developments among insurers include five acquisitions completed or planned. With premiums continuing to increase, look for more employers to offer high-deductible health plans.
