Why I want people to read this book
There are terrific HMOs and terrible HMOs. The problem is that most of us don't have the tools to distinguish between them. I wrote this book for two reasons: to give people easy methods for finding high-quality health care and to help high-quality care thrive. If consumers and employers don't start rewarding excellent plans--by migrating to them--top-notch healthcare won't survive in the marketplace. Then we'll be stuck with mediocrity, or worse.
Provides a toolkit for knowledgeably choosing the right HMO or health plan, and getting the most out of it. The text offers ways to evaluate health-care options by cost-effectiveness and quality. Advice is provided on how to find the best doctors in an HMO and when to go outside the provider network. It shows how to avoid the dangers, excess costs and indignities that have made people wary of HMOs and managed care.
