What are managed care organizations (MCOs)?
Managed care organizations such as health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and preferred provider organizations (PPOs) control health care costs by paying pre-arranged fees to health care professionals, by reviewing all procedures and tests, and by reducing the amount of health services available to you. You may have a primary care physician (family or general practice physician) who acts as your gatekeeper, and who approves all referrals to specialists and all tests and procedures.
