Payment Methods Fee-for-Service Capitation Plans Encounter Fee Plans Barter System
Fee-for-Service A dental practice sets a fee, and a patient and/or third party pays for the fee. UCR:  usual, customary and reasonable fee Indemnity plans pay fee-for-service. Discounted coverage available and sliding scales for certain patients in certain clinics
Capitation Method Dental Managed Care A certain amount is paid to a dental practice for a certain number of patients.  Payment is received whether treatment is provided or not. Many times employees will state that they are not paid for “cleanings” provided; however, this is not an accurate statement.
Encounter and Barter Encounters are for an arrangement paid for each visit.  Barter system is used when the dental provider negotiates payment by exchanging goods and services.
