Is Shifting Away from Fee-For-Service Reimbursement the Best Course?
A recent survey suggests most physicians don't support efforts to move away from fee-for-service reimbursement. Do you?
Most physicians don't support efforts to move away from traditional fee-for-service reimbursement to value-based payment models.
That's according to recent survey findings that appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
More specifically, of 2,556 physicians surveyed:
• 70 percent said they were not in support of eliminating fee-for-service;
• 65 percent said they opposed bundled payments; and
• 59 percent said they opposed penalties to providers for avoidable hospital readmissions.
The survey findings cited here were highlighted in a recent MedPage Today article.
