as Non-Capitated Services Clause Samples
The 'as Non-Capitated Services' clause defines certain healthcare services as being reimbursed on a fee-for-service basis rather than through a fixed per-member, per-month payment (capitation). In practice, this means that providers are paid for each individual service rendered, such as office visits or procedures, rather than receiving a set amount regardless of the number of services provided.
