Are baskets of care meant to be a complete package of care for this topic / procedure / condition?
Baskets of care are meant to be uniform sets of health care services that can be packaged around a particular topic, procedure, or condition; they are not meant to include the full array of all possible services. However, baskets of care are not intended to limit the care received by a particular patient. In addition to the basket of care component services, other health care services can be delivered by the provider, but they may not be reimbursed under the agreed upon basket of care package price. For someone with health insurance coverage, any additional health care services could be paid for via the existing fee-for-service model utilized by their insurance carrier.
