Fee for service payment is designed to protect the private relationship between patient and doctor. Commercial insurance companies and programs like Medicaid and Medicare routinely use their financial leverage to influence how doctors make clinical decisions. Cost reduction is the goal, and that means longer waits for appointments, and overall, less care rather than more.
