Providers and Health Plans Collaborate to
Lower Costs and Improve Outcomes

The current relationship between payer and provider is fraught

Very much a legacy framework, fee for service, that still carries out today between payer and provider."

Unless we begin to see partnerships with shared accountability and coordination of functions across players, consumers are not going to get what they need ..."
