There are three types of managed care plans:

• Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO) usually only pay for care within the network. You choose a primary care doctor who coordinates most of your care.
• Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO)usually pay more if you get care within the network. They still pay part of the cost if you go outside the network.
• Point of Service (POS)plans let you choose between an HMO or a PPO each time you need care.

Managed care can come in a variety of forms. Choose one of the managed care models. Detail the positive and negative aspects of this model. Describe the impact that this model might have on healthcare from either the cost, quality, or access perspective. Include reference.
