The bill, briefly
Health Maintenance Organization Amendments of 1987 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to revise the definition of "health maintenance organization" to include public and private entities meeting certain criteria. (Current law includes legal entities meeting such criteria.) Requires that physician services provided as basic health services e primarily provided through specified sources. Repeals a provision relating to the membership on the policymaking body of a private health maintenance organization (HMO) and the advisory board to the policymaking body of a public entity operating a public HMO. Revises provisions relating to employee health benefit plans to make those provisions applicable to employees of States or political subdivisions as well as to employees of private employers. Requires, for health benefits plans which include contributions for services, that the employer or State make contributions under plans for services offered by HMOs in an amount which does not financially discriminate against an employee who enrolls in an HMO. Adds to current provisions relating to State laws and practices which prevent entities from operating as HMOs a provision declaring inapplicable State provisions which would prohibit an entity from complying with the title of the Public Health Service Act relating to HMOs.
