When are ISL reimbursements made?

• A. On an ongoing basis.
• B. At year-end after all claims are paid and audited.
• C. Monthly in advance.
• D. Only if claims exceed a threshold.

Answer: (A)

ISL reimbursements are made on an ongoing basis, meaning payments go out as claims are submitted, reviewed, and approved. This matches the normal flow of claiming and reimbursement, giving providers timely cash back for incurred expenses and keeping the cash cycle smooth. It avoids waiting until year-end, prepaying before costs are established, or using a threshold trigger that would hold up payments. Thinking about the other options helps see why ongoing reimbursements are preferred: waiting until year-end would delay recovery of costs and complicate cash management; paying monthly in advance would mean disbursing funds before there is evidence of eligible claims; only paying if claims exceed a threshold would create irregular payments and leave many eligible costs unreimbursed until the threshold is met.
