Consequently, the capitation program was expanded to 32 counties on April 1, 1981 and continued through December 31, 1981. Another 32 counties were used as part of a before:after/experimental:control design. Pharmacists were paid 80% of projected drug expenditures in advance ba…

The capitation system provides a cash payment per Medicaid eligible at the first of…
