Abstract:
The authors review the financial regulations imposed on health maintenance organizations (HMOs) that participate in the Medicare+Choice program and identify elements of the regulations that may discourage HMO participation in the program.

The modifications include smoothing and bounding profit estimates and authorizing and encouraging expanded use of benefit stabilization funds.
