Directing Payments to a Provider Group

As described above, a provider group is not directly involved in the service delivery so they are not paid by the organization for a service delivery. But in some cases, a provider may wish to direct all its payments to the provider group it belongs to. This information whether the payments should be directed to the provider group can be configured at the time of establishing the association between the provider and the provider group. While making payments against a service delivery, this configuration is taken into account and the appropriate party is paid. A history of this configuration is also maintained in order to establish the nominee at any point of time between a provider and provider group. This information is also used in case of a reassessment of payments due to a change in evidence retrospectively, e.g. service offering rate change.
