The effect of family physician program and health transformation plan on utilization and cost of health services
FPP was successful in achieving some initial goals, such as decreasing expenditure and service usage through a referral system. It was finally unsuccessful in the long run due to the dissolution of this system and lack of proper supervision. At the beginning, the HTP imposed significant costs to insurance providers; however, it ultimately led to a reduction in the cost for particular services over a prolonged interval.
