TL;DR

For the majority of California's PPO and indemnity plans, health promotion is not an integral part of their business, however, a substantial minority of HMOs offer health-promotion programs to achieve other organizational goals of health improvement and cost control.

Abstract

For the majority of California's PPO and indemnity plans, health promotion is not an integral part of their business. For the majority of HMOs, health-promotion programs are offered primarily as a marketing vehicle. However, a substantial minority of HMOs offer health-promotion programs to achieve other organizational goals of health improvement and cost control.
