Spanish term

pago por evento

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Health Care
Text is from Colombia:
Las modalidades como el pago por evento, capitación, paquetes de servicios u otras formas de relación comercial, generan desbalance financiero tanto en los prestadores como en los aseguradores, modificando el flujo de caja y la capacidad financiera de los prestadores, afectando directamente a la población objetivo.

I understand that the phrase "pago por evento" refers to payment for any healthcare service (an appointment, a surgery, a vaccine application...) but can't find any equivalent phrase in English. Thanks in advance!
Proposed translations (English)

It took some digging, but as soon as I found this wikipedia site, I remembered the term.
