HMO Health maintenance organization

Health Care Term


A Health maintenance organization (HMO) is a healthcare organization that provides comprehensive medical services to its members for a fixed cost. HMOs are designed to provide cost-effective medical care to their members by providing a range of preventive care services, such as annual check-ups, immunizations, and health screenings, as well as treatment for illnesses and injuries.

HMOs work by establishing networks of healthcare providers, such as primary care physicians, specialists, hospitals, and clinics, who agree to provide medical services to the organization's members. When a member needs medical services, they go to their primary care physician first, who then refers them to a specialist, if necessary. HMOs typically require members to choose a primary care physician, and they only cover medical care provided by healthcare providers within their network.

HMOs are used in the healthcare industry as a way to control healthcare costs while providing high-quality medical care to members. By negotiating lower rates with healthcare providers, HMOs are able to provide medical services to their members at a lower cost than traditional fee-for-service healthcare plans. HMOs also encourage preventive care, which can help reduce the need for costly medical treatments and procedures in the future.

Overall, HMOs have been instrumental in shaping the way healthcare is delivered in the United States, and have played a significant role in improving the quality and accessibility of medical care for millions of people.
