  • Title: Major impact of HMOs still in future.
    Author: Abramowitz KS.
    Journal: Physician Exec; 1987; 13(1):2-4. PubMed ID: 10311956.
    Abstract:
    HMOs and PPOs will still have a cost-reducing impact on the health care field, but their day for maximum effectiveness will come later in the decade. Until then, hospitals have a few incentives for bringing costs under control. As long as third-party payers, particularly insurers, insist on paying for empty beds, health care will consume a disproportionate part of the Gross National Product.
