From Book News

Includes chapter-end learning objectives, a glossary, acronyms, and study questions. A study guide providing a chapter-by-chapter summary may be purchased separately.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Excellent Overview of Managed Care,
By Kip Piper "Medicare & Medicaid Consultant" (www.KipPiper.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essentials of Managed Health Care (Paperback)
Excellent, comprehensive primer on the intricacies of managed care. Covers all the major topics, including delivery systems, public and private sector forms of managed care, regulatory and legal issues, medical management, information systems, and operational issues. Thoughtfully done by Dr. Peter R. Kongstvedt and contributors.

Management of Managed Care,
This review is from: Essentials of Managed Health Care with Study Guide, Fourth Edition (Essentials of Managed Care) (Paperback)
The book was easy to understand and was written from the perspective of someone who is unfamiliar with the managed care topic. I recommend it highly

5.0 out of 5 stars
Obviously not the first shot at the material.,

This review is from: Essentials of Managed Health Care with Study Guide, Fourth Edition (Essentials of Managed Care) (Paperback)
The author created an invaluable tool to help begineers understand the rather complicated topic of managed care using a straightforward linear approach to the topic. All topics are covered early with references to indepth coverage found later in the volume.
Getting the book is just a tool though, you really gotta want to learn the material because as practiced as the author is at putting the pen to paper, it's a very difficult topic and therefore, read.
