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

In the 1980s, the close and trusting relationship between an individual and the individual’s physician
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
waned and was replaced by acquaintances with specialists based upon particular healthcare problems.

These episodes of care cause fragmentation of care. The client who utilizes specialists is not at risk for

overpayment of services, the inability to sustain health, orfinding an appropriate general practitioner.
