Manual Payment Process


Introduction

The Manual Payment process is used as a tool for manual adjustments to capitation records. Manual payments are utilized to create a payment or recoupment override to manually process records that would not be processed systematically.

From the Health Plan perspective the Manual Payment Process will be incorporated into the Weekly Capitation Notification (HIPAA 820) processes.

Schedules The following table outlines schedules for the Manual Payment process.
