  • Title: Medicare has a new capitation method.
    Author: Grimaldi PL.
    Journal: Nurs Manage; 1997 Dec; 28(12):16-9. PubMed ID: 9423445.
    Abstract:
    The method Medicare uses to calculate capitation rates has been revamped. The changes will increase substantially the rates paid to managed health plans in rural areas and slow the growth of payments to urban health plans. The major goal of the changes is to induce additional health plans to contract with Medicare.
