Fee-for-service is the traditional method of paying health care bills in which physicians are paid a fee by the patient for each service they provide. Inflation is a general rise in prices, usually persisting over several years. Capitation is an alternative to the traditional fee-for-service method of payment. Capitation involves a set monthly fees charged by the provider of health care services for each member of the insurance group for a specific set of services. Gross domestic product is the combination of all goods and services produced in a nation's economy.
