management policies and ensuring compliance with managed care organization (MCO)

organization and include strategies pertaining to policies such as conflict resolution and
risk management that affect patients and families as well as employees and employers.
 Explain what MCO responsibilities relevant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act (ACA) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) focus on fraud, waste,
