I am in my 9th month of a HMO Cobra insurance policy. I pay my premiums on time and expect to be able to keep this much needed insurance. Again, thank you. When the statement refers to capitation, it is not a reference to a specific illness.
Capitation refers to how the doctors are paid under the plan.
The doctors receive a flat dollar amount each month regardless of the number of patients they see or services they provide. If there are any policy limits on specific illnesses, they would be outlined in the HMO booklet describing covered services.
