Definition of Flat Fee Payments. A flat fee is the fixed dollar amount a person is charged for a package of services provided during a defined period of time. Examples would be an orthodontist’s fee, which covers multiple visits; or a dental surgeon’s fee, which covers surgical procedure and post-surgical care. A flat fee group is the set of medical services that are covered under the same flat fee payment. The flat fee groups represented on the dental file include flat fee groups where at least one of the health care events, as reported by the HC respondent, occurred during 2009. By definition, a flat fee group can span multiple years. Furthermore, a single person can have multiple flat fee groups.
