摘要

On 1 January 2001, approximately 711,000 Medicare patients lost their Medicare+Choice (M+C) health maintenance organization (HMO) provider. The costly M+C regulatory environment is one reason cited by health plans for their mass exodus from the program. In response, 37 states have passed laws accepting industry-based accreditation as satisfying all or part of state oversight requirements. Texas, however, has not passed such legislation and prepares to increase state oversight on HMO operations. This content analysis study examined the current oversight models used by federal and state government regulators and compared these auditing tools to an industry-based accreditation survey. Results suggest that significant differences do exist among the current models (alpha =. 05) regarding the emphasis they place on the four oversight topics of finance, beneficiary protection and information, quality assessment and improvement, and plan management. By developing a M+C supplement to its current accreditation survey process, the NCQA could eliminate the differences in the models. This initiative would result in lower costs for both regulators and health plans. By law, the health plans would be required to pass along approximately $400,000 dollars in additional benefits to over 361,000 Texans participating in the M+C program.
