Rural Managed Care: Patterns and Prospects summarizes results of the first comprehensive effort to analyze national data on rural HMO enrollment in commercial plans, Medicaid HMOs and prepaid plans, and Medicare risk-based plans. This 80 page chartbook highlights major findings, presents key support data, and offers analysis of policy implications related to the development of managed care in rural areas. This chartbook is the first in a series of products, supported by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, that monitor the transformation of rural health care delivery and finance in the United States in the 1990s. Our intent is to provide policymakers and the field with the information necessary to help reshape and revitalize rural health care. The research staff at the University of Minnesota Rural Health Research Center hopes that the chartbook will provide a useful point of departure for those who seek a better understanding of the interaction between managed care and rural America. Single copies of the chartbook are available upon request.
