Community Care Qualifying Payment Amount (QPA) for non-contracted providers
New federal and state requirements concerning surprise billing have taken effect. Fallon Health recently began paying out-of-network claims for the Community Care product pursuant to the federal No Surprises Act. The allowed amount for out-of-network claims covered by the No Surprises Act will be set at the Qualifying Payment Amount (QPA).
- Fallon Health is working with our vendor partner ClearHealth to identify claims subject to the No Surprises Act and to determine the appropriate QPA.
- For any claims paid in accordance with the No Surprises Act, the Fallon Remittance Advise (RAS) will note at a claim line level “Paid according to the qualifying payment amount (QPA), as defined by the No Surprises Act Regulations.” A Provider Adjustments and Appeals letter with additional details will be included with the RAS.
- If an out-of-network provider or facility wishes to initiate a 30-day open negotiation period for purposes of determining the amount of final payment to the provider or facility, they may contact ClearHealth via the secure portal https://provider.clearhs.com or by calling (866) 722- 3773.
