William J. Scanlon (ed). In autumn 1988, shortly before the start of the Medicare+Choice (M+C) program, nearly 100 Medicare managed care plans announced that they would not renew their Medicare contracts or that they would reduce the geographic areas they served. Beneficiaries affected by these withdrawals either had to switch plans or return to fee-for-service. This report provides info. about recent plan decisions. It focuses on plans that receive capitated payments & provides info. on the patterns of plan & beneficiary participation in managed care, factors associated with plans’ decisions to enter or leave the M+C program, & changes in plans’ benefit packages & premiums.
