Caring. 1994 May;13(5):38-42.

Abstract

Managed care and home care are both increasingly popular as market and regulatory forces push payors and providers to reduce costs. The reform initiatives that have given rise to the increase in both these services, however, have also increased scrutiny of fraud and abuse.
