Well, I don't think there's any denying that doctors are important in our society. Two of the top things that we value are life and health, and doctors have the knowledge and skills that put them in a position to help improve our health, treat our illnesses, and prolong or save our lives.
There are two main reasons why medical groups are important to you, as an HMO member. First, it is usually the medical group or one of its doctors, not the HMO, that decides what care you receive and how you receive it. For example, the medical group: 1  Checks that its doctors give care thatâs been proven to work. 2  Sets the rules for you to âget an okâ (a referral) to see specialists and get other care. 3  Decides the steps doctors must follow to diagnose and treat health problems.
