Capitation Manag Rep. 1999 Jan;6(1):9-12.
The 1997 Balanced Budget Amendment gave providers a vehicle to market their own insurance products and contract directly for Medicare risk. But only one PSO has been approved to operate in the Medicare+Choice program, and significant operational barriers may prevent others from joining the fray.
1997年的《平衡预算修正案》为供应商提供了一个推销自己保险产品并直接签订医疗保险风险合同的途径。但在“医疗保险+选择”计划中，只有一家专业服务组织（PSO）被批准运营，而且重大的运营障碍可能会阻止其他组织加入竞争。
