Effect of a gatekeeper plan on health services use and charges
A randomized trial was conducted to determine the effectiveness of a health care plan which uses physicians as gatekeepers to control health services use and charges. New enrollees in United Healthcare (UHC), an independent practice association, were randomly assigned to the standard UHC plan requiring a gatekeeper, or to an alternate plan with equal benefits but without a gatekeeper. Individuals in both plans were similar in demographic characte…
Use of ambulatory care services in three provider plans
A previous study of low-income enrollees in a closed-panel health maintenance organization (HMO) and a Blue Cross/Blue Shield (BC/BS) plan showed that the effect on the use of health services of the age, sex, health status, previous health care use, race, and family size of the enrollees was different in the two plans. We have replicated this study using the same two provider plans but studying a different group of white collar, middle class enro…

Health Status as a Measure of Need for Medical Care
At the national level there has been a desire to assure that individuals have access to effective personal medical care services. Accordingly, there has been an interest in linking policies on access to care to the health needs of diverse population groups. This article critiques three measures of access linked to health status: the Use-Disability Ratio, the Symptoms-Response Ratio, and the Episode of Illness Analysis. Their utility in determinin…
Mental Health Services
Mental health services were included in a comprehensive package of benefits available to low income enrollees in a prepaid group practice plan (PGP) and in an independent practice plan (IPP) under the Seattle Prepaid Health Care Project. There were no out-of-pocket costs for enrollees. Utilization of services was studied for four years under conditions that might simulate universal entitlement. The analyses indicated that females used substantial…
Increased Access to Medical Care
Many federally financed programs have been launched to improve the access of the poor to medical care, under the assumption that this will improve their health. The effectiveness of these programs, however, has generally been measured by increased utilization rather than by improved health. The few studies which have considered health status have shown small or negative effects. Here, data are presented from a project which provided fully prepaid…
Rates of Surgical Care in Prepaid Group Practices and the Independent Setting What Are the Reasons for the Differences
The Seattle Prepaid Health Care Evaluation Project is a comparative study designed to assess the care received by persons enrolled in either a large prepaid group practice (PGP) or in a prepaid, independent practice setting in which physicians are reimbursed on a fee-for-service basis (IPP). As part of the study we assessed the patterns of surgical care for hysterectomy, cholecystectomy, appendectomy, and tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy. Overall, the…
The Relationship Between Utilization of Mental Health and Somatic Health Services Among Low Income Enrollees in Two Provider Plans
Mental health services were included in comprehensive benefits available with no out-of-pocket expenses to enrollees in the Seattle Prepaid Health Care Project. This study was designed to examine the characteristics of users as compared to nonusers of mental health services and to examine the possibility of lower use of somatic health services attributable to the availability of mental health services. Two enrollee groups were studied: one group …

Tonsillectomies, Adenoidectomies, Audits
In the Seattle Prepaid Health Care Project, we studied medical records and claims information for all 97 children undergoing tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy in an independent practice plan from February 1971, through January 1975. Overall only 32 per cent of the procedures met commonly promulgated indications of surgery. Of 77 persons having one of these procedures performed because of recurrent pharyngeal or ear infections, 86 per cent did no…
A Causal Model of Health Services for Diabetic Patients
A causal model of health services which includes patient and provider variables, perceived access to care, utilization of services, continuity of care, technical quality of the care process, technical quality of the care outcome, and patient satisfaction is applied to a group of diabetic patients enrolled in the Seattle Prepaid Health Care Project. The enrollees received comprehensive health services at zero out-of-pocket cost from either a prepa…
Assessing the Quality of Care for Urinary Tract Infection in Office Practice A Comparative Organizational Study
As part of a comprehensive evaluation of care received by enrollees in a prepaid community health care project, we studied the process of care for enrollees reported to have a urinary tract infection. The care given to 98 patients enrolled in a large prepaid group practice (PGP) and 69 patients seen by 45 physicians in the independent practice setting (IPP) was analyzed. We found the process of care to be significantly better in the PGP, with a l…

Measuring the Urban Poorʼs Use of Physiciansʼ Services in Response to Illness Episodes
Utilization studies have generally used volume of visits over time to make inferences concerning differential response to sickness. The results of three household interview studies conducted in OEO health center target areas are reported. Rather than volume of visits as a dependent variable, these studies use differential response to activity limiting illness episodes. Poverty and usual source of medical care were found to be only weakly associat…
