Cigna, or a vendor retained by Cigna, may attempt to obtain Discounts through accessing a provider's agreement with a third party or negotiating the provider's charges. Negotiations may include (i) Cigna, or a vendor retained by Cigna, entering into an agreement with the provider that establishes the amount at which the provider is willing to accept as payment in full; or (ii) using repricing programs through which Cigna, or a vendor retained by Cigna, determines the allowed amount based on a rate deemed to be market competitive and the provider does not bill the patient and/or obligate the patient to pay the difference between the charged amount and the allowed amount. In many cases, applying Discounts may substantially reduce the total cost of the claim and/or the patient's out-of-pocket cost and avoid the patient being balance -billed for amounts the Plan does not cover, but may result in higher payments than the Employer's applicable (a) Plan -/policyholder - selected percentile of provider charges for the same or similar service or supply in the geographic area based on a database selected by Cigna, or (b) Plan -/policyholder -elected percentage of a fee schedule that Cigna has developed based on a methodology similar to a methodology used by Medicare to determine the allowable reimbursement for the same or similar service within the geographic market.

CHLIC may provide Employer amounts equal to all or some portion of the Rebate and Manufacturer Administrative Fee amounts, or other fmancial value generated in connection with any value program(s), allocated to Employer, if any, and as specified on the Schedule of Financial Charges, from CHLIC's general assets (neither Employer, its Members, nor Employer's Plan retains any beneficial or proprietary interest in CHLIC's general assets).
