COORDINATION OF BENEFITSCOORDINATION OF BENEFITS

• Coordination of Benefits (COB) provision means that when a member is covered under two or more plans, the benefits of these plans will be coordinated so that the total amount paid out does not equal more than the actual cost of treatment. Coordination of Benefits is vital in keeping the cost of coverage as low as possible.

• If the member is entitled to benefits under another health care plan in addition to the District Plan,it is important to bill both companies at the same time, regardless of whether we are the primary or secondary carrier. By billing both companies at the same time establishes a record in our system for timely filing.

• Secondary submission: If you are submitting a paper claim, please attach the Explanation of Benefits form the primary

insurance for proper coordination.

If you are submitting an electronic claim, be sure to complete all the other insurance payment fields correctly to insure proper coordination with the primary payer.

• Payment AllowanceIn no event will District Medical Plan’s payment for covered services together with the payment made by the primary carrier exceed the amount that would have been payable if UnitedHealthcare had been the primary carrier.

The practitioner agrees to accept the negotiated amount as payment in full, whether that amount is paid in whole or part by the member, us, or by any combination of payers, including other payers that may pay as primary.
