Abstract: Abstract Institutions which use implemented managed care instruments and integrate the functions of insurance and the provision of services at least to a certain extent are counted among the managed care organisations (MCOs). Along with these MCOs, there are additional institutions that are active in the managed care context. These include specialised consultancy companies that aid in the development and implementation of managed care instruments and provide corresponding consultation services in dealing with managed care instruments. As previously mentioned in the introduction on the American healthcare system, this does not only include new forms of organisation, as their roots go back to the 1920s and 1930s.
