I'm winding up a quick blog pointer to this piece (and your previous one) as it frames a discussion I've been pushing in the pediatric world for the last year or so - enough that the AAP's SOAPM committee has asked me to write a piece about it in their newsletter. In a nutshell, I have worked with a number of pediatric practices who are consciously (and unconsciously) moving towards offering microcapitation solutions to their patients. I suspect that the HDHP model will greatly contribute to this. I also think there is an important benefit to the microcap concept that benefits preventive care in particular: by paying for the care more directly, patients are less likely to skip those important preventive visits. In pediatrics, once the imms stop, parents stop taking the physicals seriously (look at the 6-11yos in a pediatric group). If your well care were care-packaged for you directly, you'd be more likely to consume it and appreciate it. And skip the middleman. Wow, serendipitous.
