Fee-for-service vs capitation vs salaried

[Guest Ian Wong]

Here's an interesting .pdf article by the University of Toronto Medical Journal describing three of the major ways in which physicians can be compensated: fee-for-service billing, a capitation model, or being paid on a salaried basis. It covers both the advantages and disadvantages of each method of payment. You'll need Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer to read it.
