  • Title: The impact of managed care on people living with HIV: quality vs. cost-saving.
    Author: Schouten JT.
    Journal: STEP Perspect; 1997; 9(2):1-4. PubMed ID: 11364924.
    Abstract:
    The economics of medical care financing have forced significant changes to care delivery in the United States, the only leading country where health care is a for-profit industry. One major change has been the rapid movement toward managed care programs, where enrollment has grown from 29 percent in 1988 to 51 percent in 1993. A limitation on health care reform has been the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) that prohibits any significant regulation of health care at the State level. Various insurance schemes and their impact on revenues for the health providers and the implications for people being treated for HIV, AIDS, or related opportunistic infections are described.
