Payment Model Description
Fee for Service – No Link to
Quality and Value
Payments are based on volume of services
and not linked to quality or efficiency.
Fee for Service – Linked to Quality
and Value
At least a portion of payments vary based on
the quality or efficiency of health care delivery.
Alternative Payment Models Built
on Fee for Service Architecture
Some payment is linked to the effective
management of a segment of the population
or an episode of care. Payments still triggered
by delivery of services, but opportunities for
shared savings or two-sided risk.
Population-based Payment
Payment is not directly triggered by service
delivery so payment is not linked to volume.
Clinicians and organizations are paid and
responsible for the care of a beneficiary for a
long period (e.g., more than one year).
