Topic #: 3
[All AHM-530 Questions]

To protect providers against business losses, many health plan-provider contracts include carve-out provisions to help providers manage financial risk. The following statements are examples of such provisions:

The Apex Health Plan carves out immunizations from PCP capitations. Apex compensates PCPs for immunizations on a case rate basis.

The Bengal Health Plan carves out behavioral healthcare services from the scope of PCP services because these services require specialized knowledge and skills that most PCPs do not possess.

From the answer choices below, select the response that best identifies the types of carve-outs used by Apex and Bengal.

I'm leaning towards Option C. Apex is doing a specific-service carve-out for immunizations, and Bengal is doing a specialty services carve-out for behavioral healthcare.

Option B seems to be the correct answer. The Apex Health Plan carves out immunizations, which is a specific service, and the Bengal Health Plan carves out behavioral healthcare services, which is a specialty service.

I'm not sure, but I think the rationale is that Apex compensates PCPs for immunizations on a case rate basis, while Bengal requires specialized knowledge for behavioral healthcare services.
