The question is asking for ways to decrease health care expenditures without decreasing budgets. Option A suggests increasing billable services for clients, which could potentially increase the budget. Option C only suggests lean philosophies and fee-for-service payment models but does not address decreasing expenditures. Option D only suggests fee-for-service payment models and capitation models of payments, which may not necessarily decrease expenditures. Option B suggests a combination of lean philosophies (which focus on efficiency and eliminating waste) and quality-based procedures (which prioritize effective and efficient care) as well as capitation models (which incentivize providers to keep costs low) as ways to decrease expenditures without cutting budgets.
