"Alternate" delivery systems.

H Nussenblatt

Abstract

Alternate delivery systems have made significant inroads in the delivery of health care services in the United States. The emergence of health maintenance organizations (HMOs), preferred provider organizations (PPOs) and other integrated delivery systems have changed the way patients and providers relate to each other. This paper reviews the various types of alternate delivery systems and discusses issues of concern to optometrists who wish to participate in these plans.
