Under a capitated insurance contract, the provider is paid a pre-established amount that is not contingent upon the type of procedures performed; rather the procedure is performed on a patient who is insured under a capitated insurance plan. Kareo supports billing for providers who perform procedures under capitated insurance contracts.
To apply a payment or a portion of a payment to a capitated account, you must first create a capitated account if one has not already been set up. Once the account is created, you can select the payment that is associated with the account and apply payment.
You always begin with finding the capitated account before creating, editing, or deleting a capitated account.
Find Capitated Account
- Click Encounters > Find Capitated Accounts. The Find Capitated Account window opens.
 Tip: When there are numerous capitated accounts listed, use the Look For search box to enter all or part of a keyword for the capitated account. Then, click Find Now.
