In choosing a Managed Care Organization
by: Djai Tanji
Managed Care Organization (MCO) takes care of selecting an organization that will collect the premiums paid out of a person’s Social Security money from the Medicare program. In choosing MCO, pay attention how much a plan costs and what it covers. An MCO is intended to permit people to acquire full Medicare coverage at a minimum cost. Find out if an MCO allows you to choose your own doctor or not. MCOs that allow wider choices of doctors and hospitals mean that it include higher co-payments and deductibles. By choosing an MCO that offers additional benefits, you will have access to needed supplies and services that may not be covered by Medicare.
