Placing the incentive on quality through contact capitation.
Contact capitation is emerging as a reimbursement method of choice among capitated physician networks. It allows for a more equitable allocation of dollars and permits physicians to benefit financially from the savings they individually create through more effective, efficient care practices. However, in order to operate at peak efficiency, the contact capitation system should be designed with thorough and ongoing input from the participating physicians.
