Fee-for-Service Plans
Fee-for-Service, Medical | Reimbursement, Fee-for-Service | Fee for Service | Fees for Service | Fee for Service Plans | Fee for Service, Medical | Fee for Services | Fee-for-Service Plan | Fee-for-Service Reimbursement | Fees for Services
Method of charging whereby a physician or other practitioner bills for each encounter or service rendered. In addition to physicians, other health care professionals are reimbursed via this mechanism. Fee-for-service plans contrast with salary, per capita, and prepayment systems, where the payment does not change with the number of services actually used or if none are used. (From Discursive Dictionary of Health Care, 1976) |
