ANS: 3 u
Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) were created to efficiently manage health care costs
u u u u u u u u u u u
while providing quality care. An HMO is a type of managed care plan with the goal of
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
providing wellness care and not focusing on the illness during the provision of care. HMOs do
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
not ensure payment is made to Medicare for services rendered. HMOs also do not maximize
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
the utilization of health care resources but rather uses financial incentives to decrease care
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
costs.

, ANS: 1 u
In the 1980s, the close and trusting relationship between an individual and the individual’s
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
uphysician waned and was replaced by acquaintances with specialists based upon particular
u u u u u u u u u u u
uhealthcare problems. These episodes of care cause fragmentation of care. The client who
u u u u u u u u u u u u
uutilizes specialists is not at risk for overpayment of services, the inability to sustain health, or
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
ufinding an appropriate general practitioner.
