An analysis of capitation rates for prescription medication benefits from an insurance perspective
1University of Texas at Austin.
Abstract:
The use of capitation payment systems to control costs for prescription medication benefits appears to be increasing. In such a system, risk is transferred to a pharmacist or group of pharmacists. The author examines the nature of that risk, factors that must be considered in setting capitation rates and ways to control risk in a capitation system. An insurance pricing model is used to calculate risk-adjusted capitation rates using observed and hypothetical data, and implications for pharmacists and insurers are discussed.

Analysis Methods of Pharmacokinetic Data: Model and Model-Independent Approaches
The model approach uses mathematical models to describe changes in drug concentration over time. Pharmacokinetic models help characterize drug behavior in patients, predict drug concentration in the body fluids, calculate optimum dosage regimens, and evaluate the risk of toxicity. However, ensuring that the model fits the experimental data accurately...
