  • Title: Managed change. HMOs, PPOs in flux as buyouts, mergers, competition take a toll on the market.
    Author: Kertesz L.
    Journal: Mod Healthc; 1997 Jun 23; 27(25):58-66. PubMed ID: 10167953.
    Abstract:
    While some provider-owned managed-care plans have sold to investor-owned companies, most aren't as bottom-line oriented, according to Modern Healthcare's HMO/PPO Survey. Even plans that lost money last year are investing in information systems, new products, geographic expansion and mergers with other provider-owned plans. Several survey respondents are market leaders that have won national recognition.
