Capitation rates. A survival primer for capitated environment--Part 1.
This article is the first of a two-part series designed to provide Michigan physicians with a conceptual framework to approaching capitation. Capitation in financing consists of prepaid risk transfers from insurers to providers for cost and utilization of services. Unfortunately, a number of physician practices are searching for a starting point on capitation processes in these evolving times. The focus of this first article is on primary and specialty subcapitation. Global capitation will be covered in a second article.
