Claims Pricing Sample Clauses

Claims Pricing. Host Blues determine a negotiated price, which is reflected in the terms of each Host Blue’s provider contracts. The negotiated price made available to BCBSNE by the Host Blue may be represented by one of the following: i. An actual price. An actual price is a negotiated rate of payment in effect at the time a claim is processed without any other increases or decreases; or ii. An estimated price. An estimated price is a negotiated rate of payment in effect at the time a claim is processed, reduced or increased by a percentage to take into account certain payments negotiated with the provider and other claim- and non-claim-related transactions. Such transactions may include, but are not limited to, anti-fraud and abuse recoveries, provider refunds not applied on a claim-specific basis, retrospective settlements and performance- related bonuses or incentives; or iii. An average price. An average price is a percentage of billed charges for Covered Services in effect at the time a claim is processed representing the aggregate payments negotiated by the Host Blue with all of its healthcare providers or a similar classification of its providers and other claim- and non-claim- related transactions. Such transactions may include the same ones as noted above for an estimated price. The Host Blue determines whether it will use an actual, estimated or average price. The use of estimated or average pricing may result in a difference (positive or negative) between the price THE GROUP pays on a specific claim and the actual amount the Host Blue pays to the provider. However, the BlueCard Program requires that the amount paid by the Covered Person and THE GROUP is a final price; no future price adjustment will result in increases or decreases to the pricing of past claims. Any positive or negative differences in estimated or average pricing are accounted for through variance accounts maintained by the Host Blue and are incorporated into future claim prices. As a result, the amounts charged to THE GROUP will be adjusted in a following year, as necessary, to account for over- or underestimation of the past years’ prices. The Host Blue will not receive compensation from how the estimated price or average price methods, described above, are calculated. Because all amounts paid are final, neither positive variance account amounts (funds available to be paid in the following year), nor negative variance amounts (the funds needed to be received in the following year), are due t...

Claims PricingThe Claims Pricing function calculates the payment amount for each service according to the rules and limitations applicable to each Claim type, category of service, type of provider, and provider reimbursement code. This process takes into consideration the Contractor allowed amount, TPL payments, Medicare payments, Member age, prior authorized amounts, and any co-payment requirements. Prices are maintained on the Reference files (e.g., by service, procedure, supply, drug, etc.) or provider-specific rate files and are date-specific. The Contractor MIS must process and pay Medicare Crossover Claims and adjustments. A. Inputs The inputs into the Claims Pricing function are the Claims that have been passed from the edit/audit process. The Reference and Provider files containing pricing information are also inputs to this function.

Claims Pricing. Host Blues may use various methods to determine a negotiated price, depending on the terms of each Host Blue’s healthcare provider contracts. The negotiated price made available to Contractor by the Host Blue will represent a payment negotiated by a Host Blue with a healthcare provider that is the actual price. The actual price is a negotiated payment without any other increases or decreases. A small number of states require Host Blues either (i) to use a basis for determining Memberliability for covered healthcare services that does not reflect the entire savings realized, or expected to be realized, on a particular claim or (ii) to add a surcharge. Should the state in which healthcare services are accessed mandate liability calculation methods that differ from the negotiated price methodology or require a surcharge, Contractor would then calculate Memberliability and HCA liability in accordance with applicable law.
