- Single-year mortality rates fell from 6.8 per cent in the traditional fee-for-service sample to 1.8 per cent
- Patients in the Medicare Advantage plans had shorter average stays in the hospital (about 19 per cent shorter.)
- Patients in the managed plans were more likely to receive preventive care …For example, diabetic patients in the fee-for-service sample had an average of 11.5 amputations per 1,000 patients; those in HMO plans with global capitation had only 0.3.
via Managerial Econ: Fee-for-service vs. capitation: 10 fewer amputations per capita.
