Description
André Lino and co-authors compare two ways of paying hospitals for appendix surgery in a 2023 review. Brazil's private system traditionally pays fee-for-service, a charge for every item and act, while bundled payment gives one fixed sum for the whole episode under diagnosis-related groups. The team systematically gathered studies comparing the two for appendectomy, the commonest emergency operation.
From more than seven hundred papers, six studies qualified for pooling. Patients under bundled payment left hospital sooner than those under fee-for-service. The review also weighed complications and total costs between the models. Payment design is invisible to patients, yet it steers how long they stay and what care is worth doing. Evidence from a routine operation helps policymakers judge whether bundling saves money without harming recovery.
