These contracts also include language whereby the provideragrees to accept the amount paid by Capital, minus any cost-sharing amountdue from the member, as payment in full.

For Example: The billed charge for an office visit is set by the doctor to be $100. Capital’s allowable amount

for this service is $60. If the doctor is a participating providerwho has agreed to accept the allowable amount, minus any cost-sharing amountfrom the member, as payment in full, $60 is the maximum dollar amount the

providerwill be reimbursed for this service; and the memberwill not be billed for the additional $40.

For Example: The billed charge for a prescription drugis set by the pharmacyto be $100. Capital’s allowable amountfor this prescription drugis $60. If the pharmacyis a participating pharmacywho has agreed to accept the allowable amount, minus any cost-sharing amountfrom the member, as payment in full, $60 is the

maximum dollar amount the pharmacywill be reimbursed for this prescription drug; and the memberwill not be billed for the additional $40.

 For non-participating providers, the allowable amountfor a benefitdetermines the maximum amount Capital

will pay a memberfor benefits. Since the non-participating providerdoes not have a contract with Capitalor with Capital’s PBM, the providerhas not agreed to accept Capital’spayment, minus any cost-sharing amount

due from the member,as payment in full. The allowable amountin these situations can be less than the

provider’scharge. Therefore, the memberis also responsible for paying the difference between the provider’s

billed charge and the allowable amountin addition to any applicable cost-sharing amount. Unless otherwise agreed to by Capital, all payment for services performed by a non-participating providerwill be made to the

member.

For Example: The billed charge for an office visit is set by the doctor to be $100. Capital’s allowable amount

for this service is $60. Since the non-participating providerdoes not have a contract with Capitaltheprovider

can ask the memberto pay the full $100 charge. However, the maximum payment Capital will make to the

memberis the allowable amountof $60. The remaining $40 is the member’sexpense.

For Example: The billed charge for a prescription drugis set by the pharmacy to be $100. Capital’s allowable amountfor this prescription drugis $60. Since the non-participating pharmacydoes not have a contract to provide prescription drugsor services to Capital members, the memberis responsible for paying the full $100 charge. However, the membercan file a claim for reimbursement. The maximum payment Capital will make to the subscriberis the allowable amountof $60 minus any applicable cost-sharing amounts. Assuming the

memberhas no other cost-sharing amountobligations, the remaining $40 is the member’sexpense (in addition to the member’s applicable copaymentor coinsurance).
