Managed care programs are becoming an integral part of US health care reform. The best-known managed care programs are health maintenance organizations, but other models are also gaining ground, such as independent practice associations or preferred provider organizations. However, unless fundamental changes in the US health care system are made to encourage efficiency, these systems will have little effect on health care costs.
