  • Title: Fee-For-Service, While Much Maligned, Remains The Dominant Payment Method For Physician Visits.
    Author: Zuvekas SH, Cohen JW.
    Journal: Health Aff (Millwood); 2016 Mar; 35(3):411-4. PubMed ID: 26953294.
    Abstract:
    Recent concerted efforts have sought to shift provider payment away from fee-for-service and toward risk-based alternatives. Despite these efforts, fee-for-service not only remains the dominant payment method but has continued to grow, with nearly 95 percent of all physician office visits in 2013 reimbursed in this fashion.
