Cost management in healthcare works best when you focus on prevention first. Investing in preventive care programs reduced readmissions in my practice, which saved a lot long-term. I also lean on generics whenever possible. They’re affordable and just as effective in most cases. Switching to a value-based care model made a big difference too. When reimbursement is tied to outcomes instead of volume, everyone works smarter. I’ve also used analytics to spot unnecessary tests and duplicate services. I don’t suggest cutting corners, but be efficient and mindful of health cost management without compromising care quality.
