THE EXAMPLE
With capitation, providers can also focus on Preventistry (an approach to care that emphasizes preventive services, quality of care, and patient education), such as regular check-ups, cleanings, and screenings, which can help identify and treat problems early on, and ultimately reduce the need for more expensive procedures down the road. This can lead to a more efficient and cost-effective use of resources.
Since providers are paid for each enrollee, rather than each service, this can also incentivize them to find ways to reduce the overall cost of care, such as by implementing more efficient processes or using less expensive treatments, allowing for dental organizations/providers to invest more in technology and infrastructure, which helps improve the quality and accessibility of care services for.

The capitated model can work well if a patient has a regular need for dental care, but it can be less flexible than the fee-for-service model if you only need occasional services or specialized procedures.
A capitated model can incentivize providers to improve access to care because it gives them a steady income that is not based on the number of visits or services provided.

OUR PREVENTISTRY APPROACH

In the capitated model,
the provider (in this case, the dental practice) is paid a set amount per patient by insurance companies or government agencies, regardless of the number or cost of procedures performed.
