Abstract: Abstract The design of compensation systems for service providers is an essential control instrument in managed care. In order to better understand this instrument and its effects, the basic principles of compensation systems will first be generally described so that the managed care compensation systems can be outlined in more detail. A compensation system for health services should primarily fulfil the following goals and functions: a control and incentive function, a distributional role and an innovation function. The different forms of compensation described in this chapter are the salary, factor cost reimbursement, fee-for-service, daily rates, case rates/DRG, bundled payments, capitation and pay-for-performance. A special focus will be placed on this latter form of compensation.
