Managed care has a bad reputation. Just last year, Anthem Blue Cross in CA was caught illegally dropping 2,300 people from coverage after they accrued large bills, and were fined $1 million. Given that, what kinds of questions might you have for L.A. Care, especially considering that they are an HMO (albeit a public one) for the poorest among us? Be sure to ask these questions during class!
I agree with Aparna I would really like to know who their stakeholders are, and how do they benefit from LA Care?
ReplyDeleteI want to know more about their governance structure, especially the real impact of community input into their health plans. I also want to know the effectiveness of their new health education centers. Are they truly improving knowlege and changing attitudes or like other HMOs just a way to market their products.
