Synopsis

Arguing that the structures of HMOs and Medicare give HMOs strong financial incentive to avoid responsibility for Medicare beneficiaries most in need of care, the authors (and other contributors) offer strategies to correct the problem. Topics covered include providing beneficiaries with better healthcare information, the creation of standard benefit offerings, and oversight and regulation strategies.
