What does value-based care incentivize?

• A. Better outcomes, prevention, and efficiency
• B. More services regardless of value
• C. Higher prices for procedures
• D. Flat payments per patient

Answer: (A)

Value-based care is about paying for value, not volume. The aim is to reward care that produces better patient outcomes, emphasizes prevention to avoid disease progression, and uses resources more efficiently to reduce waste. So the best match is the description of better outcomes, prevention, and efficiency. Choices that push for more services regardless of value, higher prices for procedures, or flat payments detached from outcomes miss the central idea of linking payment to the value delivered.
