In health care economics, a fee-for-service plan is a type of reimbursement mechanism "whereby a physician or other practitioner bills for each encounter or service rendered. In addition to physicians, other health care professionals are reimbursed via this mechanism. Fee-for-service plans contrast with salary, per capita, and prepayment systems, where the payment does not change with the number of services actually used or if none are used."[1][2]
Primary care physicians practicing in fee-for-service plans may be more susceptible to conflict of interest in their ordering of medical services.[3]
