Despite the growth in value-based payment arrangements from payers, health systems continue to pay physicians based on the volume of services they provide.
A new study published in the journal JAMA Health Forum finds that volume-based compensation was the most common type of base pay for more than 80% of primary care physicians and for more than 90% of physician specialists.
There is an ongoing and intensified push across the industry to move toward alternative payment models that financially reward physicians based on the quality and value of care they provide rather than per service.
