The advantages include: the MIS and the health care provider being the same, the members can directly access services without any administrative hurdles; there is strong incentive to provide efficient and quality of services by the institution as the MIS is linked directly to the health system; there is greater flexibility of the institution to adapt the services according to the needs of the members and there is control on major risks and control on all costs by the institution.
The disadvantages include: The members do not have a say in the decision-making process and the external control of health services is limited as there is no negotiation process between the members and health providers.
