Managed Care Models

The continuum of managed care models helps to understand the level of control for access, quality, and costs for each model. It is also true that managed care models are influenced by the market they serve. The geographic region impacts the design of managed care models.  

• Identify an MCO functioning in both your area and in some other parts of the country (for example, BCBS of California and BCBS of Georgia).
• Compare the organizations relative to the type of managed care products each offers.

 Refer to the readings and relevant outside research. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
