Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The healthcare landscape is littered with failed attempts by hospitals and physicians to manage insurance risk. This year's survey of managed-care plans shows 12 of 30 provider-owned HMOs lost money in 1997. And Modern Healthcare's news pages have chronicled recent losses at more than 20 provider-owned plans. With provider-sponsored organizations in the pipeline, the question is: Will they be a dream or are they a disaster in the making?
