Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) are a more cost-effective option for Medicare as they offer preventative care services and negotiate discounted rates with healthcare providers. This can lead to lower healthcare costs for both the patient and the government. Prospective payment systems (PPS) and diagnosis-related groupings (DRGs) are payment models used to reimburse healthcare providers and do not necessarily reduce Medicare spending on their own. Adult day care (ADC) is not a healthcare service and would not be a relevant option for reducing Medicare spending.
