managed care

noun managed health care

US, uncountable Medical services which are planned, directed, and controlled—especially by a health insurance company—in a manner designed to maximize the efficiency of the delivery and financing of health care. Much of the projected savings would come from enlisting Medicaid recipients in "managed care" programs instead of the current open-ended system.
