BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[October 20

performed at the College of Medicine at Rockford. Under the contract the University will provide physician health care or arrange through referrals for the provision of such health services to CliniCare members who elect to use the College of Medicine at Rockford for this purpose. Members contract with CliniCare for medical and hospital services on a prepaid basis for themselves and their eligible dependents. CliniCare will make a monthly capitation payment to the University for each enrollee and for each eligible dependent who has selected the University of Illinois as primary provider. T h e payments to the University will be reduced for the costs of referrals to other providers in those cases where the University is unable to provide the services. T h e hospital costs of members are paid by CliniCare from a hospital fund it establishes from amounts withheld (initially 15 percent adjustable to a maximum of 25 percent) from the capitation payments to the University and from payments received by CliniCare from members. T h e University's liability for hospital costs will not exceed the amount available in the hospital fund. During the initial contract year, 80 percent of the capitation payments will be allocated to the Medical Service Plan and the balance treated as clinic charges. The allocation of capitation payments during subsequent periods will be adjusted as necessary to reflect utilization experience between clinic and physician services. T h e contract is for a one-year period and renews automatically unless either party terminates on 90 days notice. T h e vice president for academic affairs and the vice president for business and finance concur. I recommend approval.
