I'm pretty confident that capitation isn't the main reimbursement method for PPOs; I think it's more fee-for-service.

I feel like I might be mixing up PPOs with HMOs regarding specialists. I need to double-check that.

I think I came across a question similar to this, and I recall that PPOs do not assume full financial risk.

I remember studying that PPOs usually cover more for in-network services, but I'm not sure if that's the only thing they do.
