title: Global capitation rates. A survival primer for capitated environment--Part 2.
abstract: This article is the second of a two-part series in Michigan Medicine designed to provide Michigan physicians with a framework to approaching capitation. Capitation in healthcare financing consists of risk transfers from insurers to providers for cost and utilization of services via fixed prepayment. Unfortunately, a fairly large number of physician practices currently are searching for a starting point on capitation processes in these rapidly evolving times. The focus of the first article (September 1996 Michigan Medicine) was on primary care and specialty subcapitation; this article addresses global capitation arrangements.
