Sponsor's own description

Background: \- The costs of medical care have a major effect on patients during illness and treatment. Surveys with patients and doctors show that both are interested in discussing the costs of treatment. But they rarely talk about these issues. Both worry about whether it is appropriate to discuss financial matters in the clinical setting. They are also concerned about whether this topic will be an awkward one. Researchers are interested in studying how people want their doctors to talk to them about the costs of illness and medical care. Objectives: \- To explore and better understand patients views on whether and how doctors should talk about the costs of illness and medical care. Eligibility: \- English- or Spanish-speaking adults (at least 18 years of age) who are covered by health insurance. Design: * Participants will be asked to take part in a 2 1/2-hour focus group. Ten to 12 people will come together to discuss their thoughts and opinions. * A member of the research team will lead the group discussion. The leader will ask a list of questions about health care payment issues. Those in the focus group will discuss these issues. * Participants will receive a small cash payment and a light snack.
