Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) were created to efficiently manage health care costs
v v v v v v v v v v v
while providing quality care. An HMO is a type of managed care plan with the goal of providing
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
wellness care and not focusing on the illness during the provision of care. HMOs do not ensure
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
payment is made to Medicare for services rendered. HMOs also do not maximize the utilization of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
health care resources but rather uses financial incentives to decrease care costs.

v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
waned and was replaced by acquaintances with specialists based upon particular healthcare

not at risk for overpayment of services, the inability to sustain health, orfinding an appropriate
