Pay docs/hospitals for solving conditions instead of for each procedure (i.e., they are paid the same amount for a patient with pneumonia regardless of the treatment)

But this IS how Medicare pays hospitals now. They pay based on diagnosis, not on how many tests/procedures were done. Worse, they take away money if the patient doesn't do well, even if they got all of the recommended treatments.

That actually was the way medicine was practiced for the longest time Praziquantel - 05/04/2012 01:23:28 AM 457 Views
