Assignment  Project

For your assignment, a primary care physician is often reimbursed by Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) via capitation, fee-for-service, relative value scale, or salary. Capitation is considered as a risk-based compensation.

In an effort to understand the intricacies involved with physician reimbursement, particularly in an era of health care reform, identify and interview an expert in the field, such as:

Hospital Administrator

Managed Care Organization (MCO) executive

Health care Consultant

Legal Professional

Assumption: MCOs use risk-based reimbursement for primary care physicians.

Ask the following questions in the interview:

What kind of risk do the MCOs assess?

Does risk-based compensation limit the freedom of primary care physicians in any way in terms of patient care? Why or why not?

How does the capitation model of reimbursement work? Do physicians generally prefer one model over the other? Why or why not?

Why do HMOs prefer the prepaid, monthly premium?

Is pay-for-performance a better model than existing models of compensation? Are there limitations to it as well?

Feel free to add additional follow-up questions for depth and clarification as you see fit.

Create a 4- to 5-page report in Microsoft Word document, analyzing the responses provided (which should be included as part of the report) using the evidence from the literature to help support or refute the responses provided.
