Capitation

Rationale: Capitation means "paying a fixed, prepaid fee per person to provide a range of health services". It is paid before services are provided. Fee-for-service means a set fee paid for each type of service that is performed and paid for at the time of service. Self-pay means that some patients are responsible for the full price of their prescription. Co-payment is an amount required to be paid by the patient every time a provider is visited or a medication is obtained.
