I thought all capitation was about fixed payments per member.

Wait, are we sure it transfers risk to providers? That sounds off.

I agree, it’s more about risk transfer than just reimbursement amounts.

I vaguely recall that capitation usually involves a set dollar amount per member, but I can't remember if that applies to percent-of-premium specifically.

I keep mixing up the definitions of capitation types, so I’m uncertain if limiting risk makes it less attractive to providers.

I feel like option D sounds familiar because it mentions risk transfer, which is something we discussed in class.

This is a tricky one. I know percent-of-premium is a type of capitation, but I can't recall the specifics of how it differs from the other options. I'll have to review my notes and try to reason through the differences.

Okay, I remember learning about capitation arrangements in class. I believe a percent-of-premium setup is where the provider gets a percentage of the premium instead of a set dollar amount per member. That sounds like it would transfer risk to the provider.

This question seems pretty straightforward. I think the answer is D - a percent-of-premium arrangement transfers some of the risk from the health plan to the provider.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. The options seem pretty similar, and I'm having trouble distinguishing between them. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think option B is the correct answer. Percent-of-premium arrangements transfer some of the risk to the provider, making it less attractive when there are provisions to limit that risk.
