Government Research Looks at Effects of Managed Care

To better understand the effect of managed care on people with disabilities, staff from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in collaboration with the Health Care Financing Administration, have developed research and evaluation efforts focused on managed care and people with disabilities. The research covers public- and employer-based plans as well as self-insured plans.
