Blended Capitation Model
Is Fee For Service restricting your efforts to deliver care in the way you want to practice?
If you answered "yes", then you and your clinic colleagues may want to consider the Blended Capitation Model (BCM).
The Blended Capitation Model (BCM) is an alternative to traditional fee-for-service (FFS) compensation, blending patient-based capitation payments and volume-based payments through FFS.
BCM is a demonstration project supported in partnership by ACTT and Alberta Health. Learn more about other Clinical Alternative Relationship Plans.
The goal of the BCM is advancement of the Patient’s Medical Home and delivering a quality care experience to patients through improved access, continuity and comprehensive team-based care:
✓ Continuity where relationships matter✓ Care coordination and delivery by an interdisciplinary team✓ Good access to care and a patient centered approach✓ The ability to deliver care in innovative ways✓ Professional autonomy, satisfaction✓ Happier, healthier patients✓ Predictable income stream for easier budgeting and stabilityWhat is the most valuable part for physicians implementing the model?
