Where this comes from

Abstract

Given the rapidly changing landscape of both private and public health plan programs, it is foolhardy to suggest that a definitive characterization of managed care and substance abuse issues can be made. Among other topics, this article discusses goals of managed care organizations, managed care models, and physicians' roles in managed care.
