| dc.description | This paper presents a conceptual analysis of access, quality, and cost containment incentives created bv several current and potential Medicare reimbursement methodologies. The alternatives examined are methods used by health-maintenance organizations (HMOs) and three options receiving national policy consideration: prospective per-visit and per-episode payment, and "bundling." The analysis found better incentives (from a policy perspective) for HMOs with integral home health units than for HMOs using outside contractors. Of the other options, per-episode payment appeared most promising, but requires accurate case mix adjustments. All approaches also require quality assurance tailored to reimbursement incentives. Topics for further research and demonstrations are suggested. |
