All-Payer System

Definition of All-Payer System from the PharmacyDictionary.in

All-Payer System

An all-payer system is a health care system in which all public and private third-party payers of medical bills, such as insurance companies and government programs, are subject to the same rules and rates for payment. This system establishes uniform fees, effectively preventing health care providers from charging more to individuals or firms who are more able to pay. The goal is to compensate for losses from artificially low payment caps set by some payers. This approach aims to create a more equitable health care system by standardizing payment rules and rates.
