CHLIC, a Cigna company, administers the following programs to contain costs with respect to charges for health care service /supplies that are covered
by the Plan. In administering these programs, CHLIC contracts with vendors to perform program related services. Specific vendor fees are available
upon request. CHL1C's charge for administering these programs is the percentage (indicated below) of either ( I ) the "net savings" (i.e. the difference
between the charge that the provider would have made absent the program savings and the charge made as a result of the program savings, Tess the
applicable vendor fee which generally ranges from 7 -11% of the program savings) or (2) the "gross savings" (i.e. the difference between the charge
that the provider would have made absent the program savings and the charge made as a result of the program savings; CHLIC pays the applicable
vendor fee) or (3) the "recovery" (i.e. the amount recovered) as applicable.
For covered services received from non - Participating Providers, CHLIC may apply discounts available under agreements with third parties or through
negotiation of the billed charges. These programs are identified below as the Network Savings Program, Supplemental Network & Medical Bill
Review (pre - payment). This is consistent with the claim administration practices applicable to CHLICs own health care insurance business when
these programs are implemented. CHLIC charges the percentage shown for administering these programs. Applying these discounts may result in
higher payments than if the maximum reimbursable charge is applied. Whereas application of the maximum reimbursable charge may result in the
patient being balance billed for the entire unreimbursed amount, applying these discounts avoids balance billing and substantially reduces the patient's
out -of pocket cost.
