members
Managed Care On-Line™ (MCOL) has entered

information including: articles, managed care news, publications, data reports,
employment listings, forums, e-dictionary of managed care organization
operational terms, managed care trends and fact sheets, health plan post office
listings and links, and much more.
In addition, TIPAAA members wishing to enroll in MCOL paid
membership levels will receive a special 25% discount.

industry trends and developments is key for physician organizations in today's
challenging business environment, and being able to access that information
through a single gateway saves valuable time and resources."
