Though reports indicate physicians are becoming more involved in alternative payment models (APMs), fee for service continues to be the dominant way physician practices receive revenue, according to new research published today.
Nearly 60 percent of physicians reported that their practices received some revenue from at least one alternative payment model (APM) in 2016, with pay-for-performance and bundled payment arrangements having the highest participation rates around 35 percent. That information comes from a newly released AMA Policy Research Perspectives, which used data from the Association’s Physician Practice Benchmark Survey.
