Managed Care:

By the early 1970's, 95% of the medical services economy in the United States was financed by either employers or Federal/State government programs. The emergence of Managed Care techniques, intended to reduce the costs of providing health benefits and improve the quality of care, were a direct result of that delivery system.

Managed Care Organizations are firms specializing in using these techniques or providing them as services to other organizations. As such, they are exposed to a unique range of liabilities in their day to day operations.

Managed Care Services, a division of Swett & Crawford, was instrumental in developing and underwriting the first insurance products for these organizations. And they've been doing it ever since!
