Health Maintenance Organizations
Organized systems for providing comprehensive prepaid health care that have five basic attributes: (1) provide care in a defined geographic area; (2) provide or ensure delivery of an agreed-upon set of basic and supplemental health maintenance and treatment services; (3) provide care to a voluntarily enrolled group of persons; (4) require their enrollees to use the services of designated providers; and (5) receive reimbursement through a predetermined, fixed, periodic prepayment made by the enrollee without regard to the degree of services provided.

Use of out-of-plan services by Medicare members of HIP. (1/1026)

Use of out-of-plan services in 1972 by Medicare members of the Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York (HIP) is examined in terms of the demographic and enrollment characteristics of out-of-plan users, types of services received outside the plan, and the relationship of out-of-plan to in-plan use. Users of services outside the plan tended to be more seriously ill and more frequently hospitalized than those receiving all of their services within the plan. The costs to the SSA of providing medical care to HIP enrollees are compared with analogous costs for non-HIP beneficiaries, and the implications for the organization and financing of health services for the aged are discussed.  (+info)

Hypertension, antihypertensive medication use, and risk of renal cell carcinoma. (2/1026)

To investigate whether diuretic medication use increases risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the authors conducted a case-control study of health maintenance organization members in western Washington State. Cases (n = 238) diagnosed between January 1980 and June 1995 were compared with controls (n = 616) selected from health maintenance organization membership files. The computerized health maintenance organization pharmacy database provided information on medications prescribed after March 1977. Additional exposure information was collected from medical records. For women, use of diuretics was associated with increased risk of RCC (odds ratio (OR) = 1.8, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.0-3.1), but the association was not independent of a diagnosis of hypertension (adjusted for hypertension, OR = 1.1, 95% CI 0.5-2.1). Similarly, nondiuretic antihypertensive use was associated with increased risk, but only when unadjusted for hypertension. For men, neither diuretic nor nondiuretic antihypertensive use was associated with risk of RCC. A diagnosis of hypertension was clearly associated with RCC risk for women (OR = 2.5, 95% CI 1.2-5.1), but not men (OR = 1.3, 95% CI 0.7-2.5). High systolic and diastolic blood pressures were associated with increased risk in both sexes. These results do not support the hypothesis that use of diuretic medication increases RCC risk; they are more consistent with an association between RCC and high blood pressure.  (+info)

The changing elderly population and future health care needs. (3/1026)

The impending growth of the elderly population requires both fiscal and substantive changes in Medicare and Medicaid that are responsive to cost issues and to changing patterns of need. More emphasis is required on chronic disease management, on meaningful integration between acute and long-term care services, and on improved coordination between Medicare and Medicaid initiatives. This paper reviews various trends, including the growth in managed-care approaches, experience with social health maintenance organizations and Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly demonstrations, and the need for a coherent long-term care policy. Such policies, however, transcend health care and require a broad range of community initiatives.  (+info)

Raising the bar: the use of performance guarantees by the Pacific Business Group on Health. (4/1026)

In 1996 the Pacific Business Group on Health (PBGH) negotiated more than two dozen performance guarantees with thirteen of California's largest health maintenance organizations (HMOs) on behalf the seventeen large employers in its Negotiating Alliance. The negotiations put more than $8 million at risk for meeting performance targets with the goal of improving the performance of all health plans. Nearly $2 million, or 23 percent of the premium at risk, was refunded to the PBGH by the HMOs for missed targets. The majority of plans met their targets for satisfaction with the health plan and physicians, as well as cesarean section, mammography, Pap smear, and prenatal care rates. However, eight of the thirteen plans missed their targets for childhood immunizations, refunding 86 percent of the premium at risk.  (+info)

Financial incentives and drug spending in managed care. (5/1026)

This study estimates the impact of patient financial incentives on the use and cost of prescription drugs in the context of differing physician payment mechanisms. A large data set was developed that covers persons in managed care who pay varying levels of cost sharing and whose physicians are compensated under two different models: independent practice association (IPA)-model and network-model health maintenance organizations (HMOs). Our results indicate that higher patient copayments for prescription drugs are associated with lower drug spending in IPA models (in which physicians are not at risk for drug costs) but have little effect in network models (in which physicians bear financial risk for all prescribing behavior).  (+info)

Waking the health plan giant: Group Health Cooperative stops counting sheep and starts counting key tobacco indicators. (6/1026)

Implementing a comprehensive approach to decreasing tobacco use in a large health plan requires hard work and commitment on the part of many individuals. We found that major organisational change can be accomplished and sustained. Keys to our success included our decision to remove access barriers to our cessation programmes (including cost); obtaining top leadership buy-in; identifying accountable individuals who owned responsibility for change; measuring key processes and outcomes; and finally keeping at it tenaciously through multiple cycles of improvement.  (+info)

Health maintenance organizations in developing countries: what can we expect? (7/1026)

Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) are a relatively new and alternative means of providing health care, combining a risk-sharing (insurance) function with health service provision. Their potential for lowering costs has attracted great interest in the USA and elsewhere, and has raised questions regarding their applicability to other settings. Little attention, however, has been given to critically reviewing the experience with HMOs in other countries, particularly concerning their introduction to settings other than the USA. This paper first reviews the current experience of HMOs in low- and middle-income countries, including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Uruguay, Chile and Indonesia. Secondly, the paper reviews the USA experience with HMOs: prerequisites for the establishment of HMOs in the USA are identified and discussed, followed by a review of the performance of HMOs in terms of cost containment, integration of care and quality of care for the elderly and poor. The analysis concludes that difficulties may arise when implementing HMOs in developing countries, and that potential adverse effects on the overall health care delivery system may occur. These should be avoided by careful analyses of a nation's health care system.  (+info)

The corporate practice of health care ... a panel discussion. (8/1026)

The pros and cons of treating health care as a profit-making business got a lively airing in Boston May 16, when the Harvard School of Public Health's "Second Conference on Strategic Alliances in the Evolving Health Care Market" presented what was billed as a "Socratic panel." The moderator was Charles R. Nesson, J.D., a Harvard Law School professor of 30 years' standing whose knack for guiding lively discussions is well known to viewers of such Public Broadcasting Service series as "The Constitution: That Delicate Balance. "As one panelist mentioned, Boston was an interesting place for this conversation. With a large and eminent medical establishment consisting mostly of traditionally not-for-profit institutions, the metropolis of the only state carried in 1972 by liberal Presidential candidate George McGovern is in one sense a skeptical holdout against the wave of aggressive investment capitalism that has been sweeping the health care industry since the 1994 failure of the Clinton health plan. In another sense, though, managed care-heavy Boston is an innovative crucible of change, just like its dominant HMO, the not-for-profit but merger-minded Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. Both of these facets of Beantown's health care psychology could be discerned in the comments heard during the panel discussion. With the permission of the Harvard School of Public Health--and asking due indulgence for the limitations of tape-recording technology in a room often buzzing with amateur comment--MANAGED CARE is pleased to present selections from the discussion in the hope that they will shed light on the business of health care.  (+info)

Despite clear principles regarding antibiotic use in patients with upper respiratory infections (URIs), this practice is still widespread. Gonzales and colleagues conducted a prospective cohort study to determine which clinical characteristics in patients cause physicians to prescribe antibiotics for non-antibiotic responsive conditions (i.e., URIs).. Patients enrolled in a group-model health maintenance organization were included in the study if they had symptoms involving the chest, throat, ears or nasal passage. Each visit was documented in a standardized fashion, and adult patients with a final diagnosis of URI were included for analysis. Patients with diagnoses of pneumonia, acute bronchitis, otitis media, sinusitis or pharyngitis were excluded. (Even though acute bronchitis is not an indication for antibiotics, many physicians continue to prescribe antibiotics for this condition.). The clinical manifestations most often reported by the 451 patients diagnosed with URI were cough, sore ...

Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)
A Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) provides a wide range of benefits that cover the entire health care spectrum, from preventive care and education to physician care, surgery and hospitalization. Health care is typically managed by primary care physicians, specialists, hospitals and labs inside the provider network, with premiums and co-payment for certain services or prescriptions.. Since contracting discounts from a network of providers is one of the primary ways an HMO maintains cost effectiveness, treatment received outside the network is usually not covered. While an HMO is more restrictive than other plans, doctor visits and health care can be simple, easy and reliable. If there is a need to see a specialist, the doctor will recommend appropriate resources and often make the scheduled appointment on the patients behalf.1. ...

OBJECTIVE: To assess adherence to prescribing guidelines, continuation rates, population effects on glycemic control, and occurrence of lactic acidosis during the first 20 months of the availability of metformin in a large health maintenance organization. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed in the 90,000-member diabetes registry of Kaiser Permanente, northern California. Principal study measures were the proportions of patients started on metformin who met prescribing guidelines (previously on sulfonylureas, HbA1c, obesity, creatinine), the change in HbA1c at 6 months after starting metformin, and hospitalization rates for lactic acidosis. RESULTS: A total of 9,875 patients received metformin during this interval. At least 74% were previously treated with sulfonylureas alone, 81% had baseline HbA1c , or = 8.5%, 71% were obese, and 99% had a serum creatinine , or = 1.5 mg/dl. Among patients on sulfonylureas at baseline, those starting metformin had ...

Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs)Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs)
Minnesota lays claim to the idea of prepaid health plans-health services operated and administered by medical doctors and professional staff, and managed by health maintenance organizations (HMOs) -a design formulated in the early 1960s by Dr. Paul M. Ellwood, then executive director of the American Rehabilitation Foundation and the Sister Kenny Institute of Minneapolis. To Dr. Ellwood and his associates, the passage of Medicare legislation in 1965 seemed to portend a slide toward socialized medicine, unwelcome involvement of government in American medicine and patient care.. In proposing his concept of managed care, Dr. Ellwood intended it to act as a bulwark against a looming threat to the quality of medical care. In cooperation with the Park Nicollet Clinic in Minneapolis, Dr. Ellwood conducted a pilot program in 1972, testing the concept. The pilot program involved 5000 patients from General Mills, the Dayton Company, and other local corporations who were enrolled in this ...

Competition, Payer, and Hospital QualityCompetition, Payer, and Hospital Quality
The objective of this study is to estimate the effects of competition for both Medicare and HMO patients on the quality decisions of hospitals in Southern California. We use discharge data from the State of California for the period 1989-1993. The outcome variables are the risk-adjusted hospital mortality rates for pneumonia (estimated by the authors) and acute myocardial infarction (reported by the state of California). Measures of competition are constructed for each hospital and payer type. The competition measures are formulated to mitigate the possibility of endogeneity bias. The study finds that increases in the degree of competition for HMO patients decrease risk-adjusted hospital mortality rates. Conversely, increases in competition for Medicare enrollees are associated with increases in risk-adjusted mortality rates for hospitals. In conjunction with previous research, the estimates indicate that increasing competition for HMO patients appears to reduce prices and save lives and hence ...

Large companies expected to see big increases in HMO insurance costs next year, study says - California Hospital AssociationLarge companies expected to see big increases in HMO insurance costs next year, study says - California Hospital Association
Large companies that offer their employees insurance through health maintenance organizations can expect their costs to rise 9.8% next year, the largest increase in five years, a new study shows. Rates are rising fast because HMOs tend to provide ample benefits that are attractive to people who use costly medical services, the benefits consultant firm Aon Hewitt says in its analysis. Often such premium increases are shared by companies and their employees. ...

Survey: Health insurers show advances in NP credentialing, reimbursement - Drug Store NewsSurvey: Health insurers show advances in NP credentialing, reimbursement - Drug Store News
The survey of health insurers, specifically Health Maintenance Organizations - conducted by the National Nursing Centers Consortium, a support organization for nurse-led care - found that 75% of HMOs credential with nurse practitioners as primary care providers, an increase over previous years. Data were collected from 258 health maintenance organizations managed by 98 insurance companies across 50 states and the District of Columbia in from June 2011 to May 2012.. Compared with similar research weve done previously, this survey seems to indicate that more health insurers are credentialing nurse practitioners as primary care providers, which is an improvement. But it wont be enough given the millions more Americans who will be insured after 2014 and a projected shortage of primary care physicians of about 60,000 by 2015. Unless we get to 100% credentialing, we should expect a repeat of the circumstances in Massachusetts in 2007, when the supply of primary care providers was far too low to ...

Kaiser Permanente Study Shows Minorities Had Lower Risk of Coronary Heart Disease than Whites :: By :: Article :: Super DoctorsKaiser Permanente Study Shows Minorities Had Lower Risk of Coronary Heart Disease than Whites :: By :: Article :: Super Doctors
In a study of more than 1.3 million Kaiser Permanente members in Northern California that stretched over 10 years, researchers found that blacks, Latinos and Asians generally had lower risk of coronary heart disease compared to whites. The study was published today in American Journal of Preventive Medicine.. Racial and ethnic differences in diabetes, cardiovascular-disease risk factors and their outcomes, especially in blacks, are well documented, but population health estimates are often confounded by differences in access to high-quality health care, said lead author Jamal S. Rana, MD, PhD, of the Division of Cardiology and Clinical Adjunct with the Division of Research at Kaiser Permanente Northern California.. The findings echo those of a 2014 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which showed that racial disparities between black and white Medicare beneficiaries covered by Kaiser Permanente in the western United States have been nearly eliminated for cardiac risks and ...

MEDICARE HMOS: State Senator Calls For Federal Action To Halt Withdrawals | California HealthlineMEDICARE HMOS: State Senator Calls For Federal Action To Halt Withdrawals | California Healthline
State Sen. Jackie Speier (D-Daly City) introduced a resolution yesterday urging the government to assure an estimated 40,000 California Medicare HMO enrollees that they will have access to insurance after they lose their coverage at the end of this month. Speier, chair of the state Senate insurance committee, said HMOs will pull out of 36 counties, 11 of which will be left with no Medicare HMO alternative. She said the elderly will still be able to obtain new coverage -- but it will cost far more, and there will be additional costs for prescription drugs. She accused the insurers of examin[ing] their bottom line and decid[ing] to cherry-pick where they do business. But Walter Zelman, president of the California Association of Health Plans, said reports were exaggerated because only about 6,000 out of 1.4 million Medicare HMO enrollees will lose coverage. Thats hardly the disastrous kind of dumping that people are talking about, he said. No HMO wants to pull out of Medicare. Medicare is ...

More employees than ever are opting for high-deductible health plans (HDHPs), but preferred provider organizations (PPOs) are still the most popular among group health plans, a new study has found.. Thirty-four percent of employees selected an HDHP for 2016 when it was offered alongside a traditional health plan, with millennial employees over age 26 the most likely to choose the option at 40%, according to a report by benefits management technology provider Benefitfocus Inc..

1. Healthcare System in the United States1. Healthcare System in the United States
Healthcare is very expensive in the United States. Hospital stays for even a few days can cost much more than most Americans can afford. Still there exists a complex network of clinics, offices, medical centers, hospitals, and outpatient facilities that are available to the public. Additionally, there are county hospitals and other low-cost facilities that can provide service to the insured and uninsured alike. Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) also provide medical services to the public. These HMOs are usually tied to employer insurance coverage, but individuals can purchase insurance from these types of healthcare providers, too.. Finding a good doctor, one that you feel comfortable with, is the first step in taking command of your healthcare. Once you find a good doctor, he or she can refer you to specialists who can address any special needs you may have. You can find a good doctor anywhere in the U.S. regardless of your insurance plans. All you need is a little patience and ...

Dean lends hand to Group Health caregivers - seattlepi.comDean lends hand to Group Health caregivers - seattlepi.com
Former Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean threw his support yesterday to Group Health Cooperative workers who are seeking a new contract, saying that companies shouldnt cut back on the health care coverage it provides employees. Dean, a physician, as is his wife, said he would write a letter to Group Health in support of the union, which has opposed a proposal by the cooperative to increase what employees pay for health care coverage. [...] were proposing contributions for these individual employees that are fair by anyones standards and (if the proposal is accepted) leave us in a position with the most generous benefits of a health care provider in the marketplace. Dean spent about an hour with union members, during which he criticized the Bush administration for not providing better leadership and called for the formation of a national health care program to cover uninsured Americans.

Two units, Financial Oversight and Licensing, are often late issuing financial examination reports and sending written notifications to HMOs regarding material changes in health care plans. RESULTS IN BRIEF The annual assessments paid by two classes of health maintenance organizations (HMOs)-specialized and full-service-to support the operations of the Department of Managed Health Care (department) are not distributed equitably. The assessments do not reflect the different levels of effort that the department devotes to each class. This is not surprising, since the assessments are charged almost entirely on a per enrollee basis, with little recognition that full-service HMOs, which provide medical, vision, psychiatric, and other care, are likely to require the departments services more frequently than specialized HMOs, which provide only one type of care. As a result, these assessments are causing disparate financial impacts. On average they amount to a substantially larger percentage of the ...

Over four decades ago, Klatsky and his colleagues published perhaps the first carefully conducted epidemiological investigation of alcohol consumption and risk of myocardial infarction,1 a case-control study nested within the health records of the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan in California. Taking advantage of some 120 000 health plan members who completed a standardized set of over 500 individual questions, the authors identified 464 members who sustained an incident myocardial infarction at local Kaiser hospitals. They compared the alcohol consumption reported on a previous questionnaire among these members with that of two sets of controls drawn from the same source population. Among non-smokers, the odds of myocardial infarction were about twice as high among non-drinkers as among drinkers, raising the possibility that alcohol consumption could lower risk of coronary heart disease.1.

The vaccination programme allowed Israel to reopen its economy ahead of other countries.
