   Not in the strictest sense, Medicare Part A, Part B & Part D are not Health Maintenance Organization type plans.  Medicare Advantage plans, which have proven increasingly popular since their introduction, generally do embody the concepts of a managed care plan though some can be more oriented towards a PPO/POS network approach while others embrace the more classic HMO model where their members must use only contracted providers to received their care.
