Order Entry & ProcessingQuestion 95 of 100
A pharmacy holds a capitated contract paying $6.00 per member per month for 500 enrolled members. What does the pharmacy receive for the month if 900 prescriptions are filled?
a.$500.00
b.$1,500.00
c.$2,400.00
d.$3,000.00
Explanation
Capitation pays per enrolled member, not per prescription: $6.00 x 500 members = $3,000.00 for the month. The number of prescriptions filled does not change the payment, so calculations built on the 900 prescriptions lead to the wrong answers.
