| Description |
Many different U.S. healthcare financial models have been implemented in search of a model that best serves U.S. patients and physicians. Amongst these, three models currently dominate within the United States: FFS (Fee-For-Service), Capitation, and Salary. Although no particular model has proven to be substantially better than the others, there are two major themes. The first theme is a recent trend away from the FFS model towards a model based on value. The second theme is a projected trend towards a restructured FFS model. Trial models fail to definitively predict one trend’s success over the other; however, the large number of trials implies that change is, indeed, the overall trend. Consequently, there is a need for policy makers to better understand these models as well as to analyze these trends on a microeconomic and macroeconomic level.
