As we approach a new era in healthcare reimbursement, the longstanding fee-for-service (FFS) model, which has governed the majority of compensation structures, faces a historic transformation. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have outlined a roadmap to fully transition the system to a value-based care (VBC) model by 2030, aiming to reshape payment structures to prioritize patient outcomes over service volume.

This shift promises significant benefits to patients and payers alike but requires an extensive, system-wide overhaul for healthcare organizations nationwide.
