Managed care can be discussed in two different contexts. The first framework describes an approach to health care delivery and is described as the integration of the financing, insurance, delivery, and payment functions within an organizational setting (Shi and Singh, 2019, p. 4). The second term could refer to a physical Managed Care Organization (MCO) which could be different settings (Shi and Singh, 2019, p. 361).

After reading the background information, conduct additional research and respond to the following questions.
