Using information from the Intro tab and the example cases highlighted in green on each subsequent tab (Aetna, Blue Cross, and Cigna), please fill in the highlighted yellow cells for each payer. Hint - remember that reimbursement methodologies will be unique to each payer/account type and will tie to either: 1) total charges (Column G), 2) length of stay (Column F), or 3) service-based case rates (Columns L/M).

Total Charges
Expected Payment
