The study contributes to payment policy development by evaluating capitation as an alternative payment method to control Medicare costs while maintaining access and quality of care for ESRD patients. A capitation payment method has been developed that combines monthly capitation payments for dialysis and functioning graft patients with one-time payments for kidney transplant and graft failure events.  aAlso available on the internet via WWW in PDF format.  aDescription based on print version record.10aUnited States.bMedicare Bureau.bEnd-Stage Renal Disease Program. 0aChronic renal failurexPatientsxServices forzUnited StatesxFinance. 0aHemodialysiszUnited StatesxFinance.1 aFarley, Donna O.eauthor.1 aKallich, Joel D.q(Joel David),d1954-eauthor.1 aCarter, Grace M.eauthor.1 aLucas, Thomas W.eauthor.1 aSpritzer, Karen L.,d1959-eauthor.2 aRand Corporation.1 aUnited States.bHealth Care Financing Administration.2 aRand/UCLA/Harvard Center for Health Care Financing Policy Research.41yOnline Accessuhttp://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR391/  c597607d597607
