    Abstract:
    The rise of the open-access managed care model has brought the concept of specialist empowerment to the forefront. Specialists are being asked to assume the gatekeeper role for specialty services throughout individual provider networks. A growing number of specialty practices are structuring to assume this role and manage the accompanying risk and capitation dollars. Many specialist practices are using this new structure to gain a competitive edge in the market.
