title: Choosing an advantageous risk-sharing arrangement.
abstract: Providers entering into risk-sharing arrangements with managed care organizations have several options regarding the amount of risk they can assume. The four most common forms of arrangements are based on service guarantees, case rates, episode rates, and global capitation. Providers must determine carefully which of these arrangements is most beneficial for them.
