The keys to implementing managed care

Article Abstract:

Managed care plans previously covered many health insurance features which includes hospital precertification, health maintenance organizations and outpatient surgery. Managed care is now redefined to mean point-of-service networks. These networks control cost because discounts are given without neglecting quality of care, primary care physicians limit excessive special check-ups and employees pay more if they seek health care treatment outside the system.

Employers should not ignore the need for behavioral healthcare. Companies and benefits administrators should select properly managed behavioral healthcare programs rather than eliminating such programs to control costs. Costs of behavioral healthcare programs can be minimized through the use of programs such as group therapies, short-term therapies and therapeutic groups and classes.
