Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Managed-care organizations or preferred providers form networks of health-care providers and regulate the care patients can receive in order to control costs. State Health Insurance Programs (SHIPs) may provide health care, but they are not specifically designed to form provider networks. Insurance exchange organizations facilitate the purchase of insurance plans, but do not directly provide health care. Boutique health care typically refers to personalized, high-end medical services and is not typically associated with network-based cost control.
