Abstract:
Our aim was to document how much managed care has penetrated dermatology based on dermatologists' experience. We conducted an anonymous survey at an East Coast dermatology conference in March 1998. One hundred thirty-two dermatologists responded. The response rate was 29%. The mean percentage of managed care in dermatology practices was 55%. Dermatologists expected the proportion of managed care to increase to 65% of their practices by 2001.
