title: Legal liability under managed care.
abstract: Market forces are driving the delivery of health care into managed care. New alignments among health care providers, payers, utilization reviewers and hospitals create new legal liability. Better-informed patients, concurrent credentialing by hospitals and payers, and new incentives to reduce hospital and physician-related costs have resulted in new federal legislation and agencies that reshape health care delivery and legal liability.
