Which of the following describes a capitation payment model?

In a capitation payment model, healthcare providers receive a fixed payment per patient, typically on a monthly basis, regardless of the quantity and type of services provided during that time. This model emphasizes prevention and efficient management of patient care since the provider is financially motivated to keep patients healthy and reduce unnecessary medical interventions. By receiving a predetermined amount for each enrolled patient, the focus shifts from the number of services or treatments delivered to the overall health outcomes of patients. This approach can lead to cost savings and more coordinated care, as providers are incentivized to engage in preventive health measures and ensure that patients receive appropriate care without the financial burden of fee-for-service arrangements.
