   Medicare risk is a term used to describe an HMO-like style of delivering Medicare benefits in which a patient pays a set dollar amount to a Medicare risk provider who then takes on responsibility for delivering all health care the patient requires.  In such a scenario, the Medicare patient may only receive benefits for services received from providers who participate  with the contracted providers.
