Maximum Reimbursable Charge - Medical The Maximum Reimbursable Charge for covered services for OPEN ACCESS PLUS is determined based on the lesser of: the provider’s normal charge for a similar service or supply; or a policyholder-selected percentage of a fee schedule Cigna has developed that is based upon a methodology similar to a methodology utilized by Medicare to determine the allowable fee for the same or similar service within the geographic market. The percentage used to determine the Maximum Reimbursable Charge is listed in The Schedule.

If sufficient charge data is unavailable in the database for that geographic area to determine the Maximum Reimbursable Charge, then data in the database for similar services may be used.
