| SN | Flat fee paid for a client's treatment based on his or her diagnosis and/or presenting problem. For this fee the provider covers all of the services the client requires for a specific period of time. Also bundled rate or Flat Fee-Per-Case. Very often used as an intervening step prior to capitation. In this model, the provider is accepting some significant risk, but does have considerable flexibility in how it meets the client's needs. Keys to success in this mode: (1) properly pricing case rate, if provider has control over it, and (2) securing a large volume of eligible clients. | |

| JV6.4.6.6e | . . . community rating qh |
| HN | Introduced 2000. | |
| SN | The practice of some prepayment plans whereby rates are calculated using a broad range of populations in a community or region. Result is that the net rate of premiums for plan subscribers is reasonably uniform and not dependent on individual claim experience or the experience of any group. This is the rating methodology required of federally qualified HMOs and of HMOs under the laws of many states, and occasionally indemnity plans under certain circumstances. Under such a rating system, the HMO is permitted to factor in differences for age, sex, mix (average contract size), and industry factors; not all factors are necessarily allowed under state laws. By averaging costs of treatment over large populations, this method is probably fairest. This method can raise rates for plans serving low-use beneficiaries, such as young, healthy people. It can lower rates for plans with adverse selection, those whose members may be older and more dependent upon receiving health care. |
| JV6.4.6.8e | . . . adverse selection qh |
| HN | Introduced 2000. | |
| SN | Inadvertently attracting members as enrollees into a health plan who are sicker than the general population (specifically, members who are sicker than was anticipated when the budget for medical costs was developed). Such members tend to use services at higher rates than other member populations. Can quickly put the provider out of business in a capitated environment, unless you can re-negotiate rate or figure out why such a plan enrollment pattern is occurring and are able to do something about it. Traditionally, this has been the problem of the plan sponsor or its insurance company, as opposed to providers within the plan. With the advent of AHPs, described below, and a number of other risk-sharing strategies, however, the provider may be significantly impacted by this phenomenon. |
| JV6.4.6.10e | . . . accountable health plan qh |
| HN | Introduced 2000. | |
| SN | A regional (geographic) joint venture between practitioners and institutions (insurance companies, HMOs, or hospitals) that would assume responsibility and risk for delivering medical care to a specific population or group. Physicians and other providers would either own, work for, or contract with these health plans. Note that this concept includes both payers and providers in a linked system. These plans generally have some incentive to develop preventive programs and to emphasize wellness. This type of plan is publicly accountable for the impact of its services on the health status of a population. | |
