California HMO members are not getting all of the basic healthcare they need to prevent the onset and spread of cancer and other diseases and to reduce unnecessary expenses, a government report released today concludes. The California Patient Advocate's latest "report card" gives most of the state's health maintenance organizations barely passing grades for the care they arrange for their members.
Most HMOs got three stars, or "good," for their overall performance as rated by consumers. Two -- Blue Cross and Cigna -- received two stars, or "fair," from consumers. Aetna was the only HMO that got a single star, or "poor" rating, on the consumer survey.
