Health Maintenance Organizations

A recent study by Towers Perrin indicates that approximately 50 percent of employers/workers compensation insurers are using health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, or other managed care networks for workers compensation. However, there is something President and the Congress could do to directly benefit employers, workers, and individuals who purchase chubb auto insurance. Health care reform legislation should contain “all-payer” language to deal with unfair cost shifting. The members of insurance company believe that they can compete with anyone in the management of medical care, including utilization control, if they are allowed to do so. AU-payer language would level the playing field, and finally give casualty insurers a chance to do what they do best — serve their customers.
