Health Technical Terms

[Sasike]

Does anybody have any sources to learn the meanings of the health technical terms such as PMPM, OCL, etc.. Many Thanks in advance.

Just list them and we will tell you what they mean. For example, PMPM = Per Member Per Month, OCL = Outstanding Claim Liabilities.

Thank you for your reply first. In fact, I know the names of those abbrivated technical terms; however, I don't understand what they mean and how they affect one another mutually. Is there any article or website talking about them? Thank you very much in advance.
