AHIP AHM-520 Exam - Topic 5 Question 29 Discussion

The Longview Hospital contracted with the Carlyle Health Plan to provide inpatient services to Carlyle's enrolled members. Carlyle provides Longview with a type of stop-loss coverage that protects, on a claims incurred and paid basis, against losses arising from significantly higher than anticipated utilization rates among Carlyle's covered population. The stop-loss coverage specifies an attachment point of 130% of Longview's projected $2,000,000 costs of treating Carlyle plan members and requires Longview to pay 15% of any costs above the attachment point. In a given plan year, Longview incurred covered costs totaling $3,000,000.Carlyle most likely is responsible for paying Longview for the claims incurred before Longview has actually paid the medical expenses.

This seems a bit off, are we sure about the attachment point details?

I thought stop-loss meant they wouldn't pay until after the expenses were settled?

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I think it might be B, the current value and how much it will grow over time, but I'm not totally sure. I'll have to think it through carefully.

I'm pretty sure the answer is A. Operating expenses are the usual and customary costs a company incurs to support its main business.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The wording is a little tricky, and I'm not sure I fully understand the differences between all these document types. I'll have to review my notes and try to reason through this one.

Ugh, I'm really struggling with this. The distinctions between private and public police powers are so nuanced. I'm going to have to guess on this one.
