This study assessed the effectiveness of two types of health plans, offered by the same health care provider, in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer.
Data on 330 cases diagnosed from 1984 through 1989 were abstracted from medical records.
Of these, 205 (62%) used fee-for-service (FFS) and 125 (38%) used health maintenance organization (HMO) plans.
Overall, there were no differences between FFS and HMO cases for duration of symptoms before diagnosis, training of physician who diagnosed the tumor, anatomic location of the tumor, type of primary treatment, Dukes' stage at final diagnosis, or survival.
