How does managed care organizations deal with patients who have both medicaid and medicare?
This would be a very rare situation, I think. In such a case, the managed care organization would be the primary insurer and Medicare secondary. Medicaid is always the payor of last resort. However, there shouldn't be any expenses for Medicare or Medicaid to pay.

What type of managed care organization has the strictest cost control feature?
Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) have the strictest cost control features among managed care organizations. They require members to choose a primary care physician and obtain referrals for specialist services, which helps manage and limit costs. Additionally, HMOs often negotiate lower rates with providers and focus on preventive care to reduce overall healthcare expenses. This structure incentivizes cost-effective treatment and minimizes unnecessary services.
What is preferred provider organizations?
Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs) are a type of managed healthcare plan that offers a network of healthcare providers, including doctors and hospitals, who have agreed to provide services at reduced rates. Members of a PPO can choose to see any healthcare provider, but they benefit from lower out-of-pocket costs when using providers within the network. This flexibility allows patients to receive care without needing a primary care physician's referral. PPOs typically have higher premiums compared to other managed care plans, like Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs).
