Does anyone know what this means?

I think you are talking about a case rate. A definition from the www is:

case rate - a pricing method in which a flat amount, often a per diem rate, covers a defined group of procedures and services.

In layman terms, there is a defined amount to be paid for the procedure(s) and it is not a fee for service type situation

This would not be possible if contracted with Medicare would it?
