“Essentials of Managed Health Care is a useful and well-researched guide for healthcare professionals…the book provides an exhaustive discussion of the challenges of managing healthcare systems under capitation and prospective payment systems. The book would make an excellent text for an undergraduate or graduate course in healthcare administration, accounting, nursing, or public health.”

Praise for Previous Editions:

"It is incumbent upon readers to educate themselves in both the language and the culture of managers, as well as to become familiar with the structures they are creating which we all must work within. Essentials of Managed Health Care is an excellent introductory text for this purpose."

--Annals of Behavioral Science and Medical Education

"There are currently a plethora of books and journal articles on the subject of managed health care, covering every conceivable aspect of managed care...Essentials of Managed Health Care comes closer than most books in achieving a truly comprehensive and informative view of the field of managed care...this book should be important reading for practitioners in the field. It should enlighten, reinforce, and sober the thinking of each reader."

--American Journal of Medical Quality
