Healthc Benchmarks. 1999 May;6(5):52-3.
A report from the General Accounting Office (GAO) states the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) will likely experience system failures as a result of the year 2000 (Y2K) computer problem. Translation: You might not get paid. HCFA Administrator Nancy-Ann DeParle insists that claims will be paid on Jan. 1 and that GAO is overstating the risks. One Y2K expert advises cautious optimism coupled with extensive individual preparations.
美国总审计局(GAO)的一份报告指出,由于2000年(千禧年)计算机问题,医疗保健财务管理局(HCFA)可能会出现系统故障。翻译过来就是:你可能拿不到钱。HCFA管理员南希·安·德帕尔(Nancy-Ann DeParle)坚称,索赔款将在1月1日支付,并且GAO夸大了风险。一位千禧年问题专家建议谨慎乐观并做好充分的个人准备。
