Universal Emergency Access under Managed Care: Universal Doubt or Mission Impossible?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 April 1999
Abstract
Appropriate concerns about cost and unequal access to healthcare have resulted in the creation of powerful managed networks seeking to share the risks of high healthcare costs among plans, providers, and patients. Much to their credit, these managed networks have slowed the rise in healthcare spending by as much as 44% in markets with high HMO penetration. However, whether these savings will materially improve access and quality remains to be seen.
