Event Details
In the U.S., physicians are increasingly integrating horizontally as well as vertically, while payment models are simultaneously transitioning away from fee-for-service towards alternative payment models (APM). While both are known to alter providers’ financial incentives and affect cost and quality individually, their interactions have potential consequences for the regulation of provider integration and APM design and evaluation. In this paper, we empirically examine the role of both horizontal and vertical integration of orthopedic surgeons in driving heterogeneity in the impact of the Comprehensive Joint Replacement (CJR) alternative payment program.
