My understanding is most places still give "performance" bonuses heavily tied to the number of patients you see, so you'd still have some incentive of your own to move patients, but if you're working for somebody else then you're also looking out for their interests. If you're working for some glorified bean counter then they'll be far more interested in financial outcomes than health outcomes, so you have a whole different can of worms there.
My state apparently just passed a bill allowing entities outside the state to own practices. I still don't know enough to decide whether that was your usual bought and paid for legislation, or something beneficial to the state's population. I err on the side of the former because you're throwing more middlemen into the equation who see patients as piggy banks.
