(BPT) - For decades, the traditional fee-for-service model has followed a "more is more" philosophy, rewarding volume over quality. Now, value-based care is transforming health care by incentivizing health outcomes instead of the number of services provided. Today, nearly 45% of all health care payments are tied to value-based models, and physicians are joining this movement in record numbers.1 In 2026, more than 700,000 health care organizations are participating in an accountable care organization (ACO) to deliver value-based care through the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) — a 12.3% increase from 2025.2
Value-based care is here to stay
