What is the difference between cost escalation and price adjustment in construction contract?
In my opinion cost escalation refers to a scenario in which cost enhancements of the specified items in the specified formula are agreed to be given to the contractor with time over the base line agreed therein. The price adjustment on the other hand refers to not only escalation or enhanced rates but variation in the negative side also. As in construction contract, the variation in rates may be on either side, it is appropriate to use the word of price adjustment rather than price escalation.

A variation in a construction contract is a change from what is currently contracted to be built, supplied or fitted to a different build, supply or fit. Variations are written instructions from the client to a contractor or from a main contractor to a sub contractor. The instruction will set out the details of the change so that all parties are agreed on the new construction details.

They can be used when unexpected issues arise during the contract. They are often used simply because the client changes his mind during a contract. The final contract is often modified by hundreds or even thousands of variations that each reflect a change in the way the building contract is to run.

Can some explain to you the difference between an insurance adjustment vs insurance write-off You are a Vision care provider and you want to know the correct approach to imputing the insurance paymen?
In short, an adjustment is the difference between your contract rate with the insurance company and your billed charge for the specific procedure (this assumes that your billed charge is above the contract rate, otherwise there is no adjustment). It is the amount that you are not owed, per your insurance contract. A write-off is the difference between your contract rate with the insurance company and the amount you actually collect (this assumes you collected less than the contract rate, otherwise you will have a refund to send). Essentially, this is money you are allowed to collect per your contract, but did not. This could be a write-off of the patient deductible or money not appealed and therefore 'written off' the books. Some write-offs are intentional, but most are not. While adjustments are not usually quantified, because they are not collectible amounts, it is important for your medical billing service/person to provide you a regular summary of total write-offs. Usually with your monthly report. This will show you how good (or bad) your medical billing provider is.
