2. Figure 1
Alternative payment models reduce total cost of health care by reducing waste and inefficiency. Because physician payments make up only a small proportion of total health care costs, even a small reduction in total cost of care can result in a significant increase in physician payments. APMs, alternative payment models; FFS, fee-for-service; GI, gastrointestinal.

Schematic of how physician payments would shift under alternate payment models. A gastroenterologist would need to first identify the proportion of clinical areas covered in one's practice and then determine the payment models which best align clinical efforts with current market practice. APMs, alterantive payment models; FFS, fee-for-service; GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease; GI, gastroenterology; IBD, inflammatory bowel disease.
