Formally defined, capitation is a flat periodic payment per enrollee to a healthcare provider; it is the sole. reimbursement for providing services to a defined population. The word capitation is derived from the term. per capita, which means per person.
'Cost' is a nebulous term. I would suggest asking what the fee is for the visit and what Medicare or other third party considers a reasonable payment. You could be charged a $300 fee for a visit and have Medicare 'allow' $150 as payment. You may then be responsible for 20% of $150 = $30.
