6.3 When processing inpatient claims, EGID shall determine the MS-DRG Allowable Fee for non- transfer cases according to the following formula: Skilled Nursing Facility Services, Day Treatment and Residential treatment will be reimbursed utilizing the per diem methodology. In no event shall a per diem qualify as an Outlier. These benefits shall be allowed when the Member has received Medically Necessary Covered Services subject to the following policy limitations and conditions:
a) EGID shall pay the appropriate percentage of the MS-DRG Allowable Fee and the Member shall pay the remainder of the MS-DRG Allowable Fee unless the Member has met the stop loss limitation, and then EGID shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of the MS-DRG Allowable Fee and the Member has no liability.
b) The MS-DRG shall be controlling, subject to EGID’s approval and Article X of the Contract.
