Option A seems tempting, but I don't think it's the most common type of capitation. I'm going to go with option D, it makes the most sense to me.

Haha, this question is like a game of financial Russian roulette! I'll go with option C - setting a specific dollar amount per plan member sounds like the safest bet to me.

I'm not sure about this one. The question is a bit tricky, but I'm leaning towards option D. It seems like the percent-of-premium arrangement shifts some of the risk to the provider.

I think option B is the correct answer. Percent-of-premium arrangements transfer some of the risk to the provider, making it less attractive when there are provisions to limit that risk.
