In the medical/health insurance business...?

what exactly is capitation vs. decapitation.
is decapitation just taking sour the limits?


Answers:    Capitation, as an example, is the HMO paying the primary doctor a set duty to be responsible for the care of that contestant, regardless of what is needed, to some extent of course. It might be approaching a retainer with a attorney. A specified fee regardless if service is rendered.

Decapitation is what terrorists do. Beheading. Unless it is fragment of the above.
I worked in the medical insurance billing for years and never hear the term "decapitation" used. Are you sure this possession was for billing instead of a diagnoses?
