- Title
Understanding Managed Care Risk Sharing Arrangements.
- Authors
Leigh, John R.
- Abstract
A risk sharing agreement between a managed care organization and an employer can be used by employers to guarantee a managed plan's short-term success or mitigate its failure. Under such arrangements, the managed care organization financially shares the employer's risk of unfavorable claims experience. This article discusses some of the basic principles that, if known by an employer in advance, can improve its chances of entering into a contract with a meaningful penalty when savings are not achieved.
