10/14/2004: Text of CBO Report Finding Insufficient Evidence That Disease Management Saves Health Costs (PDF) (Congressional Budget Office [CBO])

34 pages. Excerpt: According to CBO's analysis, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that disease management programs can generally reduce overall health spending. It is important to note that such programs could be worthwhile even if they did not reduce costs, but CBO's analysis focused on the question of whether those programs could pay for themselves.
