4Information on InvoicesChanges to Fee

appear on customer invoices. - Not because of new charges but due to changes
to how some fees are calculated. - Administrative expenses

- A new field type labeled other medical expense
fee will be created

role-based reporting access. - Customers are able to access summary and detail
level reports on claims payments, deposits and
expenses on the same day as invoice is received.
6Changes to Billing Cycle and Format
- An email with a link to e-Bill will be sent out
every Wednesday. - All self-funded customers must move to a weekly
billing cycle. - All self-funded customers must pay their invoice
within 24 hours of receipt.
7Stop Loss Coverage
- Following platform transformation, claims will be
fed directly to Highmark Insurance Group (HMIG)
systems and stop loss credits can be advanced to
customers who meet certain criteria. - Customers with stop loss coverage from HMIG may
receive stop loss credits directly on their
invoices, eliminating the current need to file
claims for reimbursement. - HMIG requires a run-in period for claims and the
period varies based on the stop loss policy.
Consistently timely payment (i.e. pays weekly
amount due, within 24 hours) required for credits.
8Claims Run Out
- Currently, self-funded customers receive
information on claims run-out activity on their
IBC invoice. - Following migration
- Information on claims run out activity related to
dates prior to migration will appear on the
additional item line of the new invoice. - IBC will continue to send the reconciliation file
to the customer until run out is complete.
9Self-Billing of Administrative Fees
- Currently, customers that self-bill
administrative fees are unable to view an
administrative fee-only invoice. - Following migration, self-billed admin fees will
be filed on a separate admin fee invoice. - Allows customers to pay the medical invoice as
billed via e-Bill.
