From skyrocketing costs to subpar quality outcomes and unequal access to care, it is clear that the challenges are immense. In the past, healthcare payments from insurers came after providing services to patients, known as a fee-for-service model. However, this model did little to address health outcomes, access to care for vulnerable populations, and the increasing national healthcare expenditure.
