Actual exam question for AHIP's AHM-530 exam
Question #: 101
Topic #: 6
[All AHM-530 Questions]

The Foxfire Health Plan, which has 20,000 members, contracts with dermatologists on a contact capitation basis. The contact capitation arrangement has the following features:

Foxfire distributes the money in the contact capitation fund once each quarter and the distribution is based on the point totals accumulated by each dermatologist.

Foxfire's per member per month (PMPM) capitation for dermatology services is $1.

The dermatologist receives 1 point for each new referral that is not classified as a complicated referral and 1.5 points for each new referral that is classified as complicated.

During the first quarter, Foxfire's PCPs made 450 referrals to dermatologists and 100 of these referrals were classified as complicated. One dermatologist, Dr. Shareef Rashad, received 42 of these referrals; 6 of his referrals were classified as complicated. Statements that can correctly be made about Foxfire's contact capitation arrangement include:

Foxfire must have really 'dermatized' their payment system. I'm going with option C, no skin off my back!

I bet Dr. Rashad is feeling pretty 'rash-ed' about this whole capitation thing. Option C it is!

Wow, 100 complicated referrals out of 450? Foxfire's PCPs must have been really stumped. Option C seems like the way to go here.

Wait, so Foxfire is paying dermatologists based on a point system? That's a novel approach, but it makes sense. I'll go with option C as well.
