In the United States, the traditional fee-for-service model has dominated
physician payment for decades. However, this model has been criticized
for encouraging overutilization of services and prioritizing quantity over
quality of care. In response, the healthcare industry has been undergoing
a transition towards payment reform, aimed at improving the quality and
efficiency of care while controlling costs. This shift has significant
implications for physician payment and the broader healthcare system. In
this article, we will explore the key drivers, challenges, and potential
benefits of payment reform on physician payment.
