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.
