Definición

  • Provider-sponsored organizations (PSOs) are health plans owned and operated by hospitals, doctors, or other health care providers. (See health plan.) At the strong urging of hospital and physician groups, which were fighting a losing battle for primacy in running the health care system with insurance companies, Congress in the 1997 Balanced Budget Act (PL 105–33) authorized PSOs to serve medicare beneficiaries under the medicare+choice program.
