I'm guessing it is a capitatated system as think I read they are partnering with United Healthcare. Under capitation a managed care company like united pays the health system running a clinic a per member/per month fee. This fee is paid whether the member has a medical visit that month or not. It can be a very lucuritive payment plan if you keep your patients as healthy as possible so they don't need to come to the clinic for a visit.
