Understanding general practice funding models in Australia and beyond
Common GP funding models across the world include fee for service, capitation, pay for performance and bundled payments. Each funding model has its potential advantages and disadvantages. Blended funding models can minimise undesired consequences of individual funding models but can introduce additional complexity. The challenge remains to design funding models that enable access to quality care, adequately pay providers and are sustainable into the future.
