Commercial insurances average 110% of Medicare, Medicaid averages 65% of Medicare, Liability insurers average 200% of Medicare and the others average 100% of Medicare rates. (what are the individual reimbursement rates for all 5 payers?)

1. What are the expected rates of reimbursement for this time frame for each payer? What is your expected A/R?

2. What rate could you charge for these services (assuming one charge rate for all payers)?(this gives you your total A/R.) Determine the total charges for all cases based on this rate.

3. What is the basic difference between the two A/R rates above? Will you collect it from the patient? What happens to the difference?
