Question

defend the providers of healthcare for the payment of healthcare services.

Answer 1

How providers are paid is one of the often-discussed and often-reformed aspects of the healthcare system. Are doctors being paid too much? Is how they are being paid incenting them to perform unnecessary services or to not give enough attention to their patients? Why can’t we just pay them salaries like most of the rest of us receive? Why does provider reimbursement have to be so complicated?

In an ideal world, healthcare providers would always make the most cost-effective course of care decisions for their patients. However, provider-payment discussions aside, there are not always clear-cut decisions in healthcare. For example, if a patient comes into a physician’s office with vague symptoms, there are any number of courses of action a physician could recommend, ranging from a “wait and see” approach to a “run every test we’ve got” approach. The right decision for any individual patient should be made through an open and honest discussion with their physician, covering their options, the patient’s medical history, and any cost/benefit trade-offs. The goal of an effective provider reimbursement structure would be, most simply, to not stand in the way of a physician and a patient making the “right” healthcare decision for them in a given situation.

Patients care is the number one thing tha should be considered by the health providers, when it comes to the 'pocket payment' system its hard for the patients certain fixed salary should be given to the health care providers from the government such plans should be implemented.
