What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percent of residents in the county that were enrolled in a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) during the calendar year. |
| Why this is important: HMOs, or Health Maintenance Organizations, provide prepaid health services and place emphasis on preventive health care through quality and cost controls. On average, healthcare through the use of an HMO costs less than traditional health insurance. HMO members pay a monthly fixed dollar amount (similar to an insurance premium), which gives them access to a range of health care services. In many cases, members also pay a copayment for each doctor or emergency room visit and for prescription drugs. Members must use the HMO's network of providers, which may include the doctors, pharmacies and hospitals under contract with that particular HMO. |
| Technical Note: The county value is compared to the state value. |
