Kapitationsmodellen
The Kapitationsmodell, or capitation model, is a healthcare payment system where healthcare providers are paid a fixed amount per patient, per unit of time, regardless of how many services the patient receives. This payment is often referred to as a "capitation fee." The core principle is to pre-pay for healthcare services, shifting the financial risk from the payer (e.g., insurance company or government) to the provider.
Under this model, a provider, such as a doctor's office or a clinic, receives a set payment
The objective of the Kapitationsmodellen is often to incentivize providers to focus on preventative care and
