Managed care for older people is growing at a very rapid rate. Many geriatricians and primary care providers are interested in this area but have limited sources of information to guide their decision-making about whether to participate in these programs. This review provides a basic overview of managed care for older people, including plan types and roles that geriatricians may choose in participating in these programs. Risk and value are central concepts that impact managed care of this population. Several changes in Medicare Managed Care have occurred with the passage by Congress of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. Geriatricians are strongly encouraged to participate in managed care as it offers the potential for improved models of care delivery for older adults.
