This project, led by researchers Robert Mechanic and Darren Zinner, defines the prevalence and magnitude of bundled payments, capitation and other models that shift incentives from volume to value-based measurement. Twenty CAPP groups participated in a survey about their payment practices.

Early rounds of this survey found fee-for-service to be the dominant payment method. A third survey round will be conducted in late 2015. Resulting publication: Many Large Medical Groups Will Need to Acquire New Skills and Tools to Be Ready for Payment Reform (Health Affairs, 2012). Additional publications to report on the ongoing results are expected.
