註釋
In an effort to control program costs, Medicare is trying new ways to pay for services. One method is to allow beneficiaries to enroll in alternative health plans (AHPs). AHPs restrict the providers from whom patients can receive care in an effort to control use and costs. The objective of this research was to analyze the trade-off between freedom of choice of provider and financial incentives to enroll in AHPS in Medicare beneficiaries's decisions. To do this this, the authors developed a method of data collection and analysis to help Health Care Financing Administration (USA) evaluate the following issues : -What plans benefits do Medicare beneficiaries value most ? What restrictions on provider choice are most influential in the decision to join AHPs? What role does price play in the decision? What is the expected degree of biased selection in new systems ?
