Step-by-Step Resolution

Steps tailored specifically to this CO-22 combination — not generic advice.

  1. 1

    Verify the patient's plan type — HMO capitation plans have specific carve-outs for covered services.

  2. 2

    Confirm the procedure is included in the capitation agreement and not a carve-out service.

  3. 3

    If included in capitation, post the adjustment; the service is covered through the monthly capitation payment.

  4. 4

    If the service should be a carve-out (not capitated), appeal with your capitation contract language.
