Monthly Rate Code Summary Process


Introduction The Monthly Rate Code Summary provides a report for the Health Plan of the total dollar amounts by contract type, rate code, and county.  The Monthly Rate Code Summary provides a view of the capitation paid for each rate code for the prospective month's capitation.  The Monthly Rate Code Summary can also be used to reconcile against the Weekly HIPAA 820 TCS.
