Review: Outstanding Book Which Will Help You Understand Managed Care - From Soup to Nuts! - I am a physician who recently started working for a managed care organization. While I had some previous experience in managed care, I needed to have a fundamental tool to help me with areas I was not familiar with. This book fits that description entirely. It is an outstanding book which is designed for both and novice and intermediate level and I would highly recommend it. One of the nice things about this book is that the chapters themselves are self-contained; in other words, you can choose to read the individual chapters in whatever order you like, without reference to the prior chapters. There are sections in which it makes logical sense to read them in a specific order, but this is not an absolute. If you want to learn about managed care, brush up on what you know, or improve your baseline knowledge, I think that this book is for you. It's well-written, well-researched, and easy to read. A very worthy investment.
