reimbursement models

Reimbursement models are the methods used to pay healthcare providers for the services they deliver. They determine how doctors, hospitals, and clinics get compensated—whether through fee-for-service (paying for each individual service), capitation (a set payment per patient regardless of services), or bundled payments (a single payment for an entire treatment episode). These models influence healthcare costs, quality, and provider behavior. The goal is to balance fair compensation with high-quality care, encouraging efficiency and patient outcomes while controlling overall expenses.
