Changes in reimbursement display

June 1, 2016

During the transition to our new claims processing platform, there was a change in the display of reimbursement for multiple outpatient surgeries and inpatient stays for AmeriHealth New Jersey Comprehensive Major Medical (CMM) claims. In addition, there was a change in display for inpatient stays for commercial and Medicare Advantage claims. Please note that regardless of payment methodology (i.e., per diem or diagnosis related group [DRG]), the reimbursement for services is displayed across all claim lines.
