withhold system

Managed care Any financial incentive by an HMO which ↓ compensation to its doctors for 'inefficient' use of services–ie, by excess diagnostic testing, hospitalization and referrals to specialists; withholds have fallen into disfavor as they tend to encourage physicians to undertreat Pts. See Covert financial incentive, ERISA. Cf Bonus system.
