  • Title: Managed care and dentistry: promises and problems.
    Author: Marcus M, Coulter ID, Freed JR, Atchison KA, Gershen JA, Spolsky VW.
    Journal: J Am Dent Assoc; 1995 Apr; 126(4):439-46. PubMed ID: 7722104.
    Abstract:
    At its inception in the mid-1950s, managed care held a number of promises for dental care providers and dental patients. Sometime during the development of managed care, however, many programs lost sight of the importance of provider equity. Using data from current programs, the authors contrast the original promises with the realities of managed care in dentistry.
