  • Title: Will managed care's role in Medicare expand?
    Author: Grimaldi PL.
    Journal: Nurs Manage; 1996 Oct; 27(10):12-4. PubMed ID: 8932092.
    Abstract:
    Managed care's penetration of the Medicare market has grown dramatically over the last several years. Nevertheless, most beneficiaries remain with fee-for-service providers and most health maintenance organizations (HMOs) do not contract with Medicare. Because of the program's dire financial outlook, Medicare almost certainly will be restructured soon to encourage more beneficiaries to enroll with HMOs and entice more managed care plans into becoming Medicare risk contractors.
