From the supplier: Capitation is one of the most commonly used methods for controlling the cost of health services. It involves payment of a fixed price for every enrolled client, for a fixed duration and for a predetermined range of health services. Health care providers are compelled to manage health care delivery efficiently and to share the risk of providing health services. However, the application of capitation to mental health services delivery poses several problems. These difficulties and existing capitation programs are discussed.
