The gate swings wider

Article Abstract:

Norwalk, CT-based HMO Oxford Health Plans will allow members with expensive-to-treat or chronic ailments to pick a specialist without getting a referral from a gatekeeper physician. The new system will cause significant changes in the ways physicians are evaluated and paid. Doctors will be paid by case rate. The new system intends to increase specialists' control over care, but specialists will remain financially accountable.
