Example 01: Summary Bill Payment
Scenario One depicts a summary bill payment. This example shows a premium payer submitting an 820 transaction set to pay a group major medical and disability bill (Invoiced). The plan covers 80 employees. Seventy-five of the 80 employees have family coverage costing $220 per employee. Twenty-five of the 80 employees have disability coverage costing $100 for each employee. The total bill is $19,000. This is a summary bill payment because the premium receiver does not require the payment detail to list each individual employee in order to properly apply the payment.
The premium receiver has provided the premium payer with a plan number (12345), a group major medical invoice number of 970501001, and a disability invoice number of 970501002. The premium payment will be delivered using the ACH network. The 820 remittance detail will accompany the funds transfer.
