A capitation plan typically pays a physician or practice a flat fee for each patient enrolled. A physician may receive the same fee each month, regardless of whether each patient was seen or not. In this type of arrangement the physician assumes some of the risk, as patient demand for care may increase or health epidemics within a community may increase demand for physician care of enrolled patients. In a fee for service plan the physician is reimbursed a specific rate for each patient visit (Quinn, 1998). There is less risk to the physician for this type of plan.
