Question

instructions: select the most appropriate response.
which of these is a type of hmo in which health care services are provided to subscribers by physicians employed by the hmo?
○ a. group model
○ b. staff model
○ c. exclusive provider organization (epo)
○ d. preferred provider organization (ppo)

Explanation:

In a staff model HMO, physicians are directly employed by the HMO. This is in contrast to other models. For example, in a group model HMO, the HMO contracts with an independent group of physicians. An EPO is a type of managed care plan but not an HMO model where physicians are employed by the HMO. A PPO is a different type of health plan altogether (not an HMO).

Answer:

B. Staff model
