title: Managed care dilemma.
abstract: The term, MANAGED CARE, is new to most physicians who were trained during the so called golden age of medicine. The various acronyms associated with this new era of medical care confuse even the young generation of physicians. This paper is written to identify the various players of managed care and to explain the differences between them. You can call this paper a glossary of the various HMOs that will be part of the new health care system.
