Robert A. Berenson and Eugene C. Rich

Mathematica Policy Research Reports from Mathematica Policy Research

Abstract: This paper addresses why the three dominant alternatives to compensating physicians (fee-for-service, capitation, and salary) fall short of what is needed to support enhanced primary care in the patient-centered medical home and the relevance of payment reforms, such as pay-for-performance and episodes/bundling.
