Abstract:
The author identifies a variety of arrangements being implemented between nursing homes and HMOs using, in particular, the experience of an LTC provider, Walker Methodist, Inc. These arrangements range from becoming an HMO-preferred nursing home provider to HMO ownership of nursing homes. The benefits and risks of each arrangement from the LTC provider's perspective are highlighted.
