CYE ’09 Prospective Offeror Technical Overview

WHAT IS REINSURANCE?Reinsurance is a method of partially reimbursing Contractors when the cost of care for a member for reinsurance covered services exceeds a deductible amount within a Contract Year.

The deductible is based on the number of statewide members enrolled with a Contractor at the beginning of a Contract Year

Services covered under reinsurance are detailed in contract and in the Reinsurance Processing Manual. Not all AHCCCS covered services are covered under reinsurance.

All members (with limited exceptions) enrolled with a Contractor that meet the deductible limits are eligible for reinsurance

CYE ’09 Prospective Offeror Technical Overview

WHAT IS REINSURANCE?AHCCCS also provides for reconciliation and adjustment of RI payments as needed in which Encounters used in RI payment calculation are replaced or voided.

The RI system generates the following monthly reports:Reinsurance Case InitiationReinsurance ReconciliationReinsurance Case SummaryReinsurance Remittance Advice

Upon the creation of a RI case the Encounters are processed through the RI edits/audits.

AHCCCS established RI cases using a monthly process that scans the Encounters database for approved, historical Encounters for each Contractor’s members.

The monthly RI Case Creation cycle runs after the 1st

monthly Encounter cycle

CYE ’09 Prospective Offeror Technical Overview

PROCESSING

RI cases are generated automatically by AHCCCS based on Encounter data (with limited exceptions). An on-line interface allows the Contractor to view RI data.

After an RI Encounter passes edits/audits and is approved, the RI payment process calculates the amount due the Contractor.

The Contractors can change the RI Encounters using the Reinsurance Correction Process via the PMMIS on-line system.

The Reinsurance Remittance Advice is then processed by the Finance system for payment to the Contractor. Contractors are required to notify AHCCCS of any third party coverage identified in a Reinsurance case.

CYE ’09 Prospective Offeror Technical Overview

CATASTROPHIC REINSURANCEProvided to partially reimburse Contractor for the cost of care for a member who meet the criteria and requirements for Catastrophic Reinsurance.
