Private Fee-for-Service Plan (PFFS) Law and Legal Definition

It helps to privatize medicare by allowing beneficiaries to go to any medicare-approved doctor or hospital that accepts the plan’s payment.

Medicare pays a set amount each month to a private insurer to provide health coverage on a fee-for-service basis to medicare beneficiaries.
