In urban areas, employers are frequently in the forefront of efforts to implement managed care initiatives at the community level, either individually or through coalitions. While employer‐driven managed care initiatives also exist in rural areas, they are less common and much less is known about them. This article describes and analyzes the early experience of a large rural employer—the state of South Dakota—in its attempt to develop and implement a managed care initiative. Several aspects of that experience suggest that employer‐driven man‐aged care models in urban sites may require reexamination and redefinition for implementation in rural areas
