Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973
(redirected from HMO Act)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.
Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973
Legislation in the United States that offered grants and other incentives to start or expand a health maintenance organization (HMO), which is a nonprofit organization offering health insurance to a group of people at the same monthly premium. It also required companies with more than 25 employees to offer employees the option to buy into an HMO if these companies also offered standard health insurance. (This latter provision expired in 1995.) The Act made HMOs a popular health insurance choice for many companies and individuals.
