  • Title: PHOs, PSOs may take stronger roles in Medicare risk.
    Journal: Manag Care Strateg; 1997 Jun; 5(6):65-6. PubMed ID: 10167563.
    Abstract:
    Congress is considering giving physician-hospital organizations (PHOs) and other provider-sponsored organizations (PSOs) the right to contract directly for Medicare managed care. But the feds aren't likely to loosen the standards by much. All PSOs, including PHOs, will face a tough screening process. Hostile market factors also could swerve some providers away from controlling physician-owned risk plans.
