Limitations

• Claim limits and changes to the IHC Policy will be determined annually by the County IHC Board. Most services will be reimbursed at the 77% ratio, except for in-patient hospital services, physician reimbursement, and oxygen services through the participating Home Health Provider. There is a $100.00 billed amount limitation. There is a $15,000.00 fiscal year limit for hospital services and a $5,000.00 fiscal limit for ambulance service. (This is per patient and amounts can not be transferred from one patient to another.)
• Primary Care Services to an eligible individual will be subject to a limit of $4,000.00 per patient per fiscal year. (Primary Care co-pays are not eligible because they are considered reasonable and generally result after the Medicare reimbursement.)
