I fail to see how fee-for-outcome helps any of this. They would still be free to order the more expensive test, and it would even encourage more testing. If they run the wrong test and miss the diagnosis, then they don't get paid at all...

The doctor/hospital gets a flat fee for the outcome regardless of how they achieve it. Unnecessary procedures and tests come out of their bottom line.
