A physician researcher discusses why primary care physicians do not participate in value-based payment models.

Having more payers involved would help physicians adopt value-based payment models. Ann S. O’Malley, MD, MPH, a researcher for Mathematica, continues explaining some of the financial findings of the study, “Why Primary Care Practitioners Aren’t Joining Value-Based Payment Models: Reasons and Potential Solutions.”
