Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retrospective payment is associated with encouraging sickness care rather than wellness services. Physicians and other providers were rewarded financially for treating illness and providing for additional tests and services. Clients and providers often insisted on expensive or unnecessary tests and treatment. Neither consumers nor providers were accountable for containing costs. Retrospective payment involves reimbursement for a service after it has been rendered with payment of a fee occurring after the fact.
