As the cost of health care in the United States continues to rise, of utmost concern are reports that medical bills are creating substantial hardships for patients. Health care debt is now the leading contributor to individual bankruptcy and home foreclosures. Both insured and uninsured patients are burdened by medical bills. And health care quality and safety are compromised as people avoid even the most basic and necessary care because of cost. Health care providers are in a unique position to lead the transition to value-based care. Medical providers and professional societies across the country are working to reduce use of unnecessary tests, procedures and treatments that increase patients’ financial burdens without adding value to their care.
