capitation + payment + model
The phrase is a straightforward noun phrase formed by combining a technical head 'capitation' (fixed per-patient payment) with 'payment' and 'model' to denote a payment system based on capitation. Because the overall meaning is directly compositional — a model of payment that uses capitation — a learner who already knows the constituent words can reliably infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The term capitation payment model comes from the old word capitation, which means 'head', so imagine counting heads and paying a fixed amount for each person. That's why the model means 'paying a set amount per patient' no matter how much care they need.
