As we’ve seen over these past few weeks in our exploration of the intersection of FFS and VBC in the PCP office, the practical application of VBC principles does not need to be an enigma for FFS-heavy practices. You can and, in truth, need to practice in both worlds – FFS and VBC. In fact, VBC concepts applied to non-VBC circumstances can be a boost to FFS healthcare delivery in both revenue and in their transition to practices that create value rather than just creating claims.

As the introduction of this series explained, there are activities a physician or provider can perform in the office that benefit the patient and the practice regardless of one’s stance in fee-for-service (FFS) or value-based care (VBC) practice models. This intersection carries even more importance when one considers that, even in many successful VBC organizations, physician compensation still lags in the FFS and production world. The activities to be discussed can motivate the front-line doc from a production perspective while benefiting the organization from a VBC perspective.

A misconception exists that physicians must choose between practicing fee-for-service (FFS) medicine and Value-based Care (VBC). We often hear the phrase “a foot in two canoes” to represent the perceived need to abandon one watercraft for another identical one in their move to VBC, the notion being you can’t simultaneously be in both payment models, and you need to choose. This perception can be paralyzing when considering making a business move within one of these practice / delivery models.
