HEALTH TERMS - ALL PAYER SYSTEM
![]()
Are you familiar with the All-Payer System?
Definition: A system in which prices for health services and payment methods are the same, regardless of who is paying. For instance, in an all-payer system, federal or state government, a private insurer, a self-insured employer plan, an individual, or any other payer could pay the same rates. The uniform fee bars health care providers from shifting costs from one payer to another. See cost shifting.
