Survey search: What makes HMOs run?
Researchers at Harvard's Center for Health Policy and Management used regression analysis to evaluate the effects of ownership and other factors on the economic performances of investor-owned and nonprofit HMOs. The major finding was that the for-profit HMOs studied were more costly than the nonprofits, yet had barely higher revenues. Other influences on HMOs' costs and incomes were analyzed, and are summarized here.
