The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 introduced the Medicare+Choice program, which expanded the types of organizations that could assume Medicare prepaid capitated risk. Among the many new options, the provider-sponsored organization (PSO) received the most attention, although there have been few PSO applications filed. Organizations considering the PSO opportunity can gauge their readiness by evaluating the ease with which they can adopt key aspects of successful HMOs.
1997年的《平衡预算法案》引入了“医疗+选择”计划，该计划扩大了可承担医疗保险预付人头费风险的组织类型。在众多新选项中，提供者发起组织（PSO）最受关注，尽管提交的PSO申请很少。考虑PSO机会的组织可以通过评估其采用成功健康维护组织（HMO）关键方面的难易程度来衡量自身的准备情况。
