From the supplier: Politicians are making political capital by threatening to take action against 'gag clauses,' contained in physicians' contracts with health maintenance organizations and other managed care providers. Gag clauses typically prevent physicians from discussing treatment not available under the managed care plan, or from recommending specialists outside of the plan. Managed care plans deny that gag clauses are typical, and claim that the political turmoil is opportunistic. Managed care plans need to launch a public relations campaign to reassure the public while simultaneously making sure that their cost cutting measures do not go too far.
