Where are you calling from? https://www.comedyminusone.com/healthcare-onlineorg-1c5d.pdf#expressing gsnet.goodshepherdhealth.org Financial incentives in the ACA are specifically designed to move us away from an outdated fee-for-service payment system (which pays physicians and hospitals for episodes of care) and focus more on “population health management.â€Â� Providers accept a flat rate for all of the health care services for a given patient population and assume responsibility for the care of these patients. If providers can keep the majority of these patients healthy, costs are reduced — and the savings are passed on, either to the providers or to help defray costs for more expensive care.
