In Maryland's annual checkup of HMOs, Kaiser Permanente posted the most top scores and Preferred Health Network the most low marks in the report issued yesterday, just as last year. But consumer behavior in response to the rankings has often been at odds with the results. The HMO report card hasn't resulted in consumers switching in large numbers from low-ranked plans to high-ranked ones. Consumers' satisfaction with their health maintenance organizations is on the decline, even as the plans overall have been scoring higher on various clinical measures than a few years ago. But state officials said the assessment, launched by an insurance reform law a decade ago as health maintenance organizations grew in popularity, have brought more accountability to the industry and produced an overall improvement in care.
