Notes: HMO: A health maintenance organization is a group of physicians
organized to provide medical care to voluntarily enrolled individuals
for a fixed, prepaid, periodic payment. The HMOs participating in the
list underwrite risk for the enrollees covered under their
managed-care programs.
Source: The organizations.
It is not the intent of this list to endorse the participants nor to
imply an organization's size or numerical rank indicates its quality.
(1) Enrollees: Includes the initial subscriber and enrolled dependents
for group health plans only.
(2) Group: A group model consists of hospitals and doctors providing
care and services exclusively for HMO recipients.
(3) Network: A network model is an HMO contracting with two or more
independent group practices (no solo practices) to provide health care
services.
(4) IPA: An individual practice association is the most common type of
arrangement for HMOs. Care is provided by a network of independent
physicians alone or in medical groups to care for enrollees.
