Next » « Previous2/12
Under traditional indemnity insurance, the insurance company pays a doctor or hospital for each service provided. This is called fee-for-service.
Under Capitation, the doctor or other medical provider receives a monthly payment for each HMO member (patient) registered with it. It doesn't matter whether the provider sees or treats the patient one time a month or many times, or even has no contact with the member at all.
