Managed care is a form of health insurance that stresses preventive medicine and affordability. In a HMO managed care plan, you typically choose a Primary Care Physician who is responsible for approving specialist and hospital care. Managed care was originally introduced as a way to control healthcare costs. It’s now the most common form of health insurance in the United States. HMOs and PPOs are examples of managed care.
