Presented in this article are aggregate utilization and financial data from the four social health maintenance organization (S/HMO) demonstrations that were collected and analyzed as a part of the national evaluation of the S/HMO demonstration project conducted for the Health Care Financing Administration. The S/HMOs, in offering a $6,500 to $12,000 chronic care benefit in addition to the basic HMO benefit package, had higher start up costs and financial losses over the first 5 years than expected, and controlling costs continues to be a challenge to the sites and their sponsors.
本文展示了来自四个社会健康维护组织(S/HMO)示范项目的综合利用和财务数据,这些数据是作为对医疗保健财务管理局开展的S/HMO示范项目进行全国评估的一部分而收集和分析的。这些S/HMO除了提供基本的健康维护组织福利套餐外,还提供6500美元至12000美元的慢性病护理福利,在前五年的启动成本和财务损失高于预期,控制成本对这些试点及其赞助商来说仍然是一项挑战。
