Managed-care strategies

Article Abstract:

Comprehensive health care delivery organizations vary in the types and prices of services offered. Health maintenance organizations (HMO) delimit patient access to primary care by member-physicians, while with preferred provider organizations (PPO), such exclusivity does not exist. PPOs, however, allow greater insurance coverage to employees availing health care from medical providers within the system. The point-of-service plans contain these characteristics as well as HMO's strict issuance of reimbursements. Managed care plans are the more economical alternative to indemnity health plans.
