One of the issues that arose at the 2001 annual Coalition meeting
was a request for support for those wanted to practice outside managed
care. As a result of this request, the Practicing Outside Managed
Care meetings were established. These meetings have been approximately
every 3 months since that time. Practitioners come to share their
experience in either attempting to practice more outside managed care,
or hearing the success or struggles of others with this intent. The
groups serves as support for all: those who have been successful in
having less managed care in their practices and those that have needed
to hear other's stories to gain strength to hold to this intention,
despite fears of losing business. Practitioners have felt supported
overall by the meetings. The meetings are publicized in the newsletter
with a reminder postcard a few weeks before the next meeting. All
are invited to attend, Coalition members and potential Coalition members.
