Sorry, not much context. This is on a document headed 'Karta pojištěnce', concerning someone's health insurance. After various details - rodné číslo, name, address etc. - on the last line of this standard form there's 'Kapitace' followed by an 8-digit number and a name (not the name of the insured person): MUDr. xxxxxx.

Comment: "Thank you, Igor and everyone. It's difficult to choose one answer. I wasn't really familiar with the word 'capitation', but these links give very useful explanations, relevant to the context."

Kapitace - the lump sum paid to a GP for each registered patient. I believe the number might be a code of the GP.

per capita payments (to doctors)
Basically as it says - payment per person

the 8-digit number will probably be the doctor's registration number, and obviously the MUDr. xxx is the name of the doctor

Whenever a doctor sees a patient he/she receives a sum which is worked out by a complicated formula, which I have never had the time or inclination to work out :) It is about 50 to 70 Crowns as far as I am aware.
The explanation below from Igor Liba explains it all better than I ever could.

| Thanks. This makes more sense than what I found in dictionaries, which gave me the vague idea that it's a kind of head-tax or poll-tax. |
