  • Title: Medicare risk contracts--success or failure?
    Author: Wenzel FJ, Malcolm J.
    Journal: Med Group Manage; 1986; 33(3):30-3. PubMed ID: 10300814.
    Abstract:
    Recent legislation has led to a new popularity in risk contracting. In 1980 a demonstration was begun by the Health Care Financing Administration that provided input for the current capitation program. Administrators from two groups involved in the demonstration program--the Marshfield Clinic and MedCenters Health Plan--offer the unique perspectives of a medical group practice and a health maintenance organization. Significant issues for any group considering entering a Medicare risk based contract are discussed.
