Health Care Factors Related to Stage at Diagnosis and Survival Among Medicare Patients With Colorectal Cancer
BACKGROUND: With the growth in enrollment of Medicare patients in HMOs the effectiveness of care received by Medicare/HMO patients continues to be of concern. By considering the relationship of insurance to stage at diagnosis, this study inquires whether HMOs emphasize early diagnosis of colorectal cancer to a greater extent than FFS plans, if particular HMO types (group/nongroup models) are more successful in doing so, and how this pertains to s…
The Relationship of HMOs, Health Insurance, and Delivery Systems to Breast Cancer Outcomes
BACKGROUND: The current climate of anger and frustration with managed care has heightened interest in the quality of health care provided by managed-care plans, particularly health maintenance organizations (HMOs). This breast cancer outcomes study, investigating relationships of health insurance and delivery systems to stage at diagnosis, treatment selected, and survival, is based in a heavily penetrated, highly competitive HMO market. METHODS: …
Analysis of Private Health Insurance Premium Growth Rates
The rate of increase in health care expenditures has been a central policy concern for well over a decade, yet little empirical research has been conducted to examine expenditure growth rates. This study analyzed health insurance premium growth rates for a selected sample of 95 insured groups over the period 1985 to 1992. During this time, premiums increased by approximately 150% in nominal terms and by 45% in real terms. The observed rate of gro…

This increase has corresponded with public and private efforts to contain hospital inpatient costs, prompting some analysts to suggest that outpatient expenditure growth is the result of a substitution effect; that is, the substitution of outpatient for inpatient care associated with hospital cost containment programs. Claims data on 43 privatel…
Does Utilization Review Reduce Unnecessary Hospital Care and Contain Costs
Research indicates that approximately one in five hospital admissions is unnecessary or inappropriate, based on accepted clinical criteria. Various cost-containment approaches have been initiated to reduce unnecessary hospital care. Among these approaches, hospital utilization review (UR) has shown promise as a cost-containment strategy. Although third party payers are increasingly relying on UR and similar approaches to contain health care expen…
