ABSTRACT
One of the greatest ironies since writing my rst book, Capitation: New Opportunities in Healthcare Delivery, was that so many people claimed to have read it, but never really did so. And, it wasn’t like I hid my work either! During the period before I reclaimed the rights to that work, it had gone through ve publication runs, I went on multiple nationwide book promotion and educational tours, and I cross promoted my work during every lecture or workshop at which I spoke. My work became required reading for health care nance and managed care classes and seminars in which I taught and was even incorporated into managed care self-study courses for the Healthcare Financial Management Association, a professional association that graciously allowed me to reclaim my authorship rights to-and to incorporate my original ideas, nancial models, and insurance industry operational knowledge in-this new book. But more on that in just a bit.
