  12. Capitation with 10% withholding (2.152 visits * $42.77) / 12 = $7.67 PMPM Cost-sharing PMPM: $1.70 Withhold: 10% of $7.67 = $.77 PMPM Capitation payment: $7.67 - $1.70 - $.77 = $5.20

  13. Risk pools Specialty and Referral $35.65 PMPM Hospital $26.28 PMPM Other $36.88 PMPM Primary Care Withhold: $.77 PMPM Primary Care $5.20 PMPM Total $104.79 PMPM
