对于经常观察到的团体医疗机构（或HMO）成员比其他医疗保健安排所覆盖的人住院率低的原因，有相当多的猜测。人们经常声称，参加HMO的人是自己选择的更健康的人群，或者他们对医院的使用没有得到充分记录。加利福尼亚州对65岁以下具有代表性的人进行的一项关于医院实际健康和使用情况的重大研究表明，这些说法是没有根据的。
There is considerable speculation on the causes of the frequently observed lower rates of hospital use by group practice--or HMO--members than by persons covered by other health care arrangements. It is often asserted that HMO enrollees are a self-selected healthier population, or that their use of hospitals is not fully recorded. A major study in California of the actual health and use of hospitals by a representative sample of persons under age 65 showed these assertions to be unfounded.
