  • An HMO is an organisation which assumes a contractual responsibility to provide or assure the delivery of a range of health services. The HMO serves a population defined by enrolment in the plan. This enrolment is voluntary. (See Commonwealth Dept. of Health 1986 . Health Maintenance Organisations: a Development Program Under Medicare, AGPS . Canberra ).
  • Possible ways of remunerating social workers include salaries in an HMO, fee-for-service as in private practice, receipt of the proportion of an income from association with a group practice.
