Thoughts on FFS

[VivaColombia]

Other than volume based care, increased costs to the system, and possibly over-treatment, what are the disadvantages that people think are associated with Fee-for-service payment models in healthcare? Is it better to just keep it or replace it with another model such as capitation? 

[NeuroD]

For a little balance, a major advantage is not having to deal with the disadvantages of capitation/salary models (lower productivity leading to longer wait times and possibly higher system costs because you need more docs to see the same number of patients, unequal work load burden, potential loss of autonomy).
