Abstract
Many aspects of pediatric practice in the future are unclear. Among them is how pediatricians will be reimbursed. Based on trends established during the past 10 years, capitation is a likely mechanism. The advantages and disadvantages of capitation as a reimbursement mechanism—particularly as it compares with fee for service—are discussed, and a simplified description of how capitation rates are set is included.Keywords
