Adjustment/Contractual Adjustment - part of the bill that the hospital has agreed not to charge the patient because of billing agreements they have with the patient's insurance company. Admitting Diagnosis - the initial medical reason that was documented for the patient's condition. Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) - a notice the hospital gives the patient before they receive services when Medicare is not expected to pay for some or all of the services. The notice is given so that the patient may decide whether to have the treatment and how to pay for it if Medicare denies the charges. ABNs apply to patients with traditional Medicare only. Advance Directive - a written document, such as a living will or durable power of attorney that says how the patient wants medical decisions to be made if they lose the ability to make decisions for themselves. Ambulatory Care - outpatient services. Ambulatory Care Charge - these fees support the physician's outpatient hospital practice and will be in addition to the physician's charge. Charges represent services like outpatient nursing care, appointments, receptionists, medical records, housekeeping and facilities operations. APC (Ambulatory Payment Classification) - a Medicare payment system for grouping and classifying similar outpatient services and procedures so Medicare can pay all hospitals the same amount. Assignment - an agreement the patient signs that allows your insurance to pay the doctor or hospital directly. Appeal - a process by which the patient, their doctor, or the hospital can object to the health plan's decision not to pay for medical services. Applied to Deductible - part of the bill the insurance company requires the patient to pay the hospital. See also deductible. Assignment of Benefits - the doctor or hospital agrees to accept payment from an insurance company first and then bill the patient for any after-insurance balances. See also benefit. Authorization Number - a reference number stating that your treatment has been approved by insurance. Also called a certification number or prior-authorization number. See also preadmission approval/certification. Beneficiary - someone who is covered under an insurance policy or plan. Beneficiary/Patient Liability - the portion patients must pay out-of-pocket for medical services, including copayments, co-insurance, and deductibles. This is in addition to the portion paid by insurance. Benefit - the amount insurance pays for medical services. Billed Charges - the total charges that hospitals send to insurance companies/patients prior to any negotiated contracts or discounts being applied. 1

2 Birthday Rule - the Birthday Rule is approved by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). The Birthday Rule indicates that the plan of the parent whose date of birth (month and day) falls earlier in the calendar year is the primary plan for dependent children. For example, if the mother's birth date is June 10 and the father's birth date is April 23, the father's plan would be primary. If both parents have the same birth date, the health plan in effect for the longer period of time will be primary.

Coordinated Coverage - integrating benefits payable under more than one health insurance (for example, Medicare and retiree health benefits).
