Pediatricians typically encounter several reimbursement models, including:
1. Fee-for-Service (FFS): This traditional model reimburses providers for each service rendered. It can lead to high administrative costs and may incentivize quantity over quality. 2. Capitation: Providers receive a set amount per patient regardless of the number of services provided. This model encourages cost-efficiency but may risk under-service. 3. Value-Based Care: Payment is tied to patient outcomes and quality of care. This model aims to improve healthcare quality while controlling costs.
