Sheet 2: Scenario

Medical Condition:			Simple Fracture
Note: Services on this tab are listed individually for classification and pricing purposes to facilitate the population of the “Sample care costs” section. HHS specifies the Category in order to roll up costs into that category in the "Sample care costs" section so that those costs are uniform across all group health plans and health insurance issuers. However, some plans or issuers may classify an item or service under another category. The plan or issuer should apply its cost sharing and benefit features for each plan or policy in order to complete the “You pay” section, but must leave as is the "Sample care costs" section. Examples of cost sharing and benefit features include, but are not limited to: • Payment of services based on the location such as inpatient, outpatient, or office; and • Payment of items as prescription drugs vs. medical equipment. Explanation of Scenario: Total – the sum of allowed amounts for the listed items and services, which is cross-referenced in the "Label and Assumptions" tab, where it is rounded. Date of Service – includes the day and month of service so plans and issuers understand the order in which items or services are rendered. ICD-9 Diagnosis Code – includes the ICD-9 code for each item or service. ICD-10 Diagnosis Code – includes the ICD-10 code for each item or service. CPT, HCPCS or Other Billing Code – includes medical codes for each item or service. Over-the-counter medications are listed as OTC. Provider Type – includes one of the types listed on the "Provider Types" tab to classify each item or service by provider. Category – includes one of the categories listed on the "Categories" tab to classify each item or service so it rolls up into the same category in the "Label and Assumptions" tab. Description – includes the short form descriptor for a CPT code, or an appropriate descriptor for a non-CPT billing code. Allowed Amount – includes an estimated national average allowed amount for each item or service, which plans or issuers must use to calculate cost sharing.
