Key Points<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question<\/strong>  Is a health care system\u2019s reimbursement model associated with provision of low-value surgical care?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Findings<\/strong>  This cohort study including 304\u202f908 procedures identified significant differences in the use of low-value care in a salaried direct care environment (20%) compared with the private-sector fee-for-service setting (35%). Low-value surgery was significantly lower in each respective sector for 2020 to 2023 vs 2016 to 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meaning<\/strong>  This cohort study supports the contention that changing clinician reimbursement models from fee-for-service to salaried was associated with lower rates of low-value care.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Importance<\/strong>  Low-value care has been recognized as a pernicious phenomenon that increases health care costs and contributes to suboptimal care delivery. Low-value surgery may be less likely in systems that used salaried reimbursement as opposed to fee-for-service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objective<\/strong>  To explore the association of reimbursement model with low-value surgery among a battery of elective procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design, Setting, and Participants<\/strong>  This cohort study used TRICARE health care claims to compare rates of low-value surgery over fiscal years 2016 to 2023. Participants included patients aged 10 years and older who underwent acromioplasty, partial knee meniscectomy, shoulder rotator cuff repair, wrist arthroscopy, or ankle arthroscopy. Data were analyzed from January to May 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exposure<\/strong>  Direct vs private sector care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main Outcomes and Measures<\/strong>  The primary outcome was the comparison of low-value care in patients in direct care vs private-sector care. An interaction between environment of care and year of surgery was retained in all models. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to adjust for case mix. Secondary analyses were limited to non\u2013active-duty individuals to account for differences in low-value care for each surgical procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0A total of 304\u202f908 procedures were included. The mean (SD) patient age was 47.2 (12.9) years, with 189\u202f648 (62%) male patients. Partial meniscectomy was the most common surgical procedure (128\u202f363 procedures [42%]), followed by acromioplasty (87\u202f721 procedures [29%]). The percentage of low-value surgery in direct care was 20%, compared with 35% in the private-sector (\u03c72<\/sup>2,304\u202f908<\/sub>\u2009=\u200990007.01;\u00a0P<\/em>\u2009<\u2009.001). After adjusting for case mix, the private sector demonstrated significantly greater odds of low-value surgery (odds ratio [OR], 1.41; 95% CI, 1.38-1.45). Low-value surgery was significantly lower in each respective sector for 2020 to 2023 compared with 2016 to 2019 (direct care: OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.73-0.83; private sector: OR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.91-0.96).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusions and Relevance<\/strong>  In this cohort study of 304\u202f908 surgical procedures, direct care evinced a significantly lower likelihood of low-value surgery in both 2016 to 2019 and 2020 to 2023. These findings support the contention that changing clinician reimbursement models from fee-for-service to salaried is associated with lower rates of low-value care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
