Depending on the weight of the item, the reimbursement amount may often be less than the actual shipping costs.

On the other hand, the reimbursement amount may exceed the actual shipping costs.

This means the selected deductible will be subtracted from the reimbursement amount for each separate condition, per policy year.

The reimbursement amounts will increase gradually through the rest of the decade.

For example, Mr. Bellini said, before the meter is installed, the contractor must survey the property and give the owner an estimate indicating any cost that is above the city's reimbursement amount.

Also make sure it pays the "usual and customary" medical fee rather than using a fee schedule with flat reimbursement amounts, since those may not be adequate, Mr. Hunt said.

If an appeal succeeds, the fee is 25 percent of the reimbursement amount, up to $5,000.

Insurers insist that they have little choice but to scale back the reimbursement amount to 50 percent to help prevent widespread insurance fraud.

First of all, we completely rule out even a partial standardization of the social protection systems of the Member States (in order to harmonize the reimbursement amounts for medicines).

Under terms of the settlement, those payments and premium costs that were refunded will be deducted from the reimbursement amount, Mr. Hatch said.
