M*A*S*H meets managed care
Article Abstract:
Military medical care on the frontlines has changed in 1998. There are no longer surgical units in battle zones. Military medical crews provide emergency care, stabilize patients and airlift them for surgery. The treatment facility provides triage care, the next medical center holds patients that will be airlifted to medical centers and the aircraft has nurses and technicians that are part of the aeromedical evacuation squadron.

Lack of awareness about the program is keeping enrollment down, as is applicant failure to provide income information. Four other Medicaid coverage options are being offered by the state, which may draw away other potential enrollees.
