Health Care Cost Containment

Health care cost containment involves strategies and policies aimed at reducing or controlling the expenses associated with medical care. The goal is to make healthcare more affordable for individuals, families, and the system overall, without compromising quality. This can include negotiating better prices for treatments and medicines, promoting preventive care to avoid costly illnesses, encouraging efficient use of resources, and implementing payment models that incentivize value over volume. Effective cost containment helps ensure sustainable healthcare delivery while maintaining access and quality of care for all.
