Payment
The final step of the SCE is to create the appropriate payment files and mark the claim as paid.
The payment calculation identifies the final amounts on the claim lines and uses these to identify the total amounts at the claim level. These include any patient liabilities as well as the approved and allowed charges.
LPI / Prompt payThe SCE identifies claims that meet late payment interest (LPI) requirements and calculates the associated interest daily. The interest calculations utilize an extensible table with each State’s LPI rules.
Payment infoClaims that are approved to be paid can be extracted and submitted to a financial processing system. The extract contains both claims that are approved to be paid, and negative financial transactions from adjustments or voids. A response file with the check or EFT numbers can be posted to the claim along with the final amount and paid date.
