What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"The Dictionary of Health Insurance and Managed Care lifts the fog of confusion surrounding the most contentious topic in the health care industrial complex today. My suggestion therefore is to 'read it, refer to it, recommend it, and reap'."
—Michael J. Stahl,PhD, Physician Executive MBA Program, William B. Stokely Distinguished Professor of Business, The University of Tennessee, College of Business Administration
