What is prospective payment system?
Prospective payment systems are intended to motivate providers to deliver patient care effectively, efficiently and without over utilization of services.The concept has its roots in the 1960s with the birth of health maintenance organizations (HMOs). The HMO receives a flat dollar amount (i.e., monthly premiums) and is responsible for providing whatever services are needed by the patient. Thus, there is a built-in incentive for providers to create management patterns that will allow diagnosis and treatment of the patient as efficiently as possible. In contrast, conventional fee-for-service payment systems may create an incentive to add unnecessary treatment sessions for which the need can be easily justified in the medical record.
