Abstract
By including the precepts of primary care and the medical home in the delivery of services, managed care can be instrumental in increasing access to a full range of health care services and clinicians. If not designed and administered carefully, managed care plans result in underutilization of appropriate services and reduced quality of care. Therefore, the American Academy of Pediatrics urges the use of the key principles outlined in this statement in designing and implementing managed care for newborns, infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. This policy statement replaces the 2000 policy statement “Guiding Principles for Managed Care Arrangements for the Health Care of Infants, Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults.”
