In today's competitive economic environment, many psychiatrists are entering capitation agreements with managed care organizations. In exchange for a flat fee for each member of a benefit plan, the psychiatrist must provide all services needed by group members regardless of the amount of service required or its cost. The Psychiatrist's Guide to Capitation and Risk-Based Contracting provides the tools that will allow clinicians to navigate this complex process and develop a successful capitated program. It includes an overview of the primary financial, administrative, and clinical issues involved in such a contract. This guide contains helpful advice on how to calculate an equitable capitation rate, evaluate and negotiate a contract, minimize the financial risks involved, and resolve numerous other issues crucial to a successful capitation contract. An interactice mental health capitation demonstration disk especially designed and developed to educate psychiatrists about the interrelationships between mental health utilization, mental health service cost, and managed care capitation rates accompanies this book.

By using this guide, clinicians will be able to manage this competitive environment in the best interests of their patients and their practice.

The guide includes a 3.5" disk with Capitation Worksheet.
