New healthcare payment rule combines capitation, fee-for-service, and pay-for-performance.
Healthcare payments can be tricky when providers can hide how hard they work and their true skill level. If we can't see how much effort they put in and don't know their ability, it's hard to pay them fairly. The best way to pay them is a mix of fixed payments, fees for each service, and bonuses for good performance. This helps make sure patients get good care without wasting money.
