A Case Study of HMO Medicare Enrollment.
Ward, Russell A.; Bryant, Elizabeth
Gerontologist, v26 n6 p655-62 Dec 1986
Surveyed recent enrollees (n=174) in Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Medicare coverage. Respondents were younger, healthier, and had more education than the general 65+ population; learned about HMOs from family and friends; and joined HMOs because of accessibility and coverage. Expectations about HMO care coverage were very high, raising issues regarding subsequent satisfaction. (Author/NB)
