Organizations pay providers for services delivered to clients. CPM provides four ways by which a provider can be paid OOTB:
- Service Invoices: Providers submit invoices to the organization,
which are validated and matched to a service authorization.
- Attendance Rosters: Providers submit rosters detailing client
attendance against scheduled service delivery, which are validated and
matched to a service authorization.
- Placements: Providers with placement facilities in which clients
are placed can agree to have the organization make payments based on
client placement information.
- Flat-rate Contracts: A contract between the organization and the
provider which specifies a certain payment amount at a frequency, for
example, $1000 per month. The payment is independent of the volume of
services delivered.
These concepts will be described in detail in this chapter.
