    • Primary Plan Allowed Amount -- The maximum amount that the payor agrees to pay the provider for a service or product, typically governed by a contract. The Allowed Amount for a claim or billing record is calculated by adding the Contractual Adjustment Amount (which is typically negative) to the Charge Amount. Adding the total Non-Contractual Adjustment Amount to the Allowed Amount yields the Total Due Amount. On billing records, which may identify up to three plans responsible for payment, the Primary Plan Allowed Amount, Secondary Plan Allowed Amount, and Tertiary Plan Allowed Amount fields identify the amounts paid by the primary, secondary, and tertiary plans listed on the bill, respectively. (See also [URSA-CORE] Charge Amount, [URSA-CORE] Contractual Adjustment Amount, [URSA-CORE] Non-Contractual Adjustment Amount, [URSA-CORE] Total Due Amount)
    • Primary Plan Paid Amount -- The amount actually paid by the health plan to the provider for a service or product.
