Medicare Hmos pdfDescription
The lure of reduced costs and improved health outcomes has spurred the Medicare managed care movement. But will these desired outcomes be achieved? This book explores a practice called risk selection-the selection of plan enrollees based on the individual's health status, which poses a serious threat to the quality of healthcare for the chronically ill-and offers strategies for ensuring high quality Medicare managed care. Includes contributions by Thomas Rice, Ph.D., Tony Dreyfus, Ph.D., Mark Merlis, Ph.D., and others. This book takes an in-depth look at: * The role of HMOs in Medicare * Strategies for oversight and regulation of Medicare HMOs * The extent and implications of risk selection * The adjustment of capitation rates to reflect health status * The creation of standard benefit offerings to Medicare HMO enrollees Download Medicare Hmos for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve
