Summary of Benefits and Costs Sample Clauses

Summary of Benefits and Costs. The uncertain nature of the number of illnesses prevented and the difficulty in quantifying the benefits to consumers of having clean foods, regardless of the danger, prevents a definitive statement about benefits and costs. We expect the static costs to be about $300,000; this sets a threshold value for the benefits. For two reasons, the annual benefits would probably be greater than these estimated annual costs. First, the costs are likely to decrease over time, perhaps to as low as $70 thousand, as owners and consignees decrease shipments of violative food and increase efforts to recondition refusals. Second, stopping just one violative shipment from entering the United States after refusal could cover the costs. For example, in 2006, nearly 800 food shipments were refused because the food contained salmonella (Ref. 1). For the period between 1996 and 2006, we calculate that salmonella outbreaks caused from 2 to 688 confirmed illnesses (with an average of 46 confirmed illnesses) per outbreak (Ref. 7). Therefore, if stopping just one of the 800 shipments refused for containing salmonella from entering the United States would avert an outbreak, the result would be a savings of over $822,000 ($17,880 per illness x 46 illnesses) in direct medical and health costs. This is simply an example, using a single reason for refusal, that illustrates how high the benefits from this proposed rule are likely to be. If multiple outbreaks are averted in a given year, or even a single outbreak involving fatalities, the benefits could easily reach the hundreds of millions.

  • Coordination of Benefits The coordination of benefits (COB) provision applies when a Member has health care coverage under more than one plan. Plan is defined below. The order of benefit determination rules govern the order in which each plan will pay a claim for benefits. The plan that pays first is called the primary plan. The primary plan must pay benefits according to its policy terms without regard to the possibility that another plan may cover some expenses. The plan that pays after the primary plan is the secondary plan. In no event will a secondary plan be required to pay an amount in excess of its maximum benefit plus accrued savings. If the Member is covered by more than one health benefit plan, and the Member does not know which is the primary plan, the Member or the Member’s provider should contact any one of the health plans to verify which plan is primary. The health plan the Member contacts is responsible for working with the other plan to determine which is primary and will let the Member know within 30 calendar days. All health plans have timely claim filing requirements. If the Member or the Member’s provider fails to submit the Member’s claim to a secondary health plan within that plan’s claim filing time limit, the plan can deny the claim. If the Member experiences delays in the processing of the claim by the primary health plan, the Member or the Member’s provider will need to submit the claim to the secondary health plan within its claim filing time limit to prevent a denial of the claim. If the Member is covered by more than one health benefit plan, the Member or the Member’s provider should file all the Member’s claims with each plan at the same time. If Medicare is the Member’s primary plan, Medicare may submit the Member’s claims to the Member’s secondary carrier.
