What notification is sent from the insurance carrier to the patient and the provider after an insurance claim has been processed?
The Insured Person will receive an EOB (Explanation of Benefits) from the insurance company which explains the payment by the insurance company, the allowed charge based on contract rates with the provider, and the remaining amount if any that is due from the patient to the provider.
What does the allowed amount in an insurance contract mean?
The allowed amount is the amount that the insurer will pay for particular service. In the context of health insurance, for example, it is the amount that the insurer will pay for each covered procedure. The allowed amount is usually the amount the insurance provider deems the services received to be worth. This amount can also be set by provider contracts with the insurer. These are contracts where, for instance, an insurance company agrees to pay 80% of the standard rate of the provider. In most managed care arrangements, the provider agrees to accept that amount in full payment and not to bill the insured for the balance.

Your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) may indicate that you owe money because it shows the amount that your insurance company will not cover for a particular medical service. This does not necessarily mean that you will receive a bill immediately. It is important to review your EOB carefully and contact your healthcare provider or insurance company for clarification on any charges.

Offset- It means adjustments of debts payments to be received against the credit payable. If there is a overpayment made by insurance company to the provider, then the insurance company will adjust by deducting the amount from other patient claim. For example : If the provider billed a patient claim for $250 and the actual allowed is $200, if the insurance paid $250.00 then the excess amount of $50 will be adjusted in another patient claim. Both are correct. Its the process of reversal of old claims and posting the amount to new claim.
Should the Dr's office bill the patient for the Provider Discount that the insurance company gets?
If the dentist is part of the insurance company's network, he or she is contracted NOT to balance bill the patient for the discount negotiated as part of the contract. The dentist can charge for the difference between the discounted rate and what the insurer pays. For example, if the usual charge for the procedure is $100 but the discounted amount is $60 and the insurer pays half; then the dentist can charge you $30. But the dentist should NOT be charging you the $30 PLUS the $40 discounted amount. If this happens you should contact your insurance company as the dentist may be in violation of his or her contract.

No. If the hospital has a contract with the insurance company, they will take care of filing the claim. If not, they will bill you and you will have to get reimbursement from the insurance company. Also, if it is a contracting provider, they have agreed to a total amount to be charged for various procedures and if the bill exceeds that amount they will write off the remainder. If they are not contracting, the insurance will still pay only the amount they think is a fair charge, less your deductible or copay, and if the hospital bill is more, you are responsible for paying the rest.
