When a patient elects to receive care from a non-participating provider (non-PAR), they may incur higher out-of-pocket costs, as these providers often do not accept the insurance company's negotiated rates. The patient may be responsible for paying the full billed amount upfront and then seeking reimbursement from their insurance, which may only cover a percentage of the costs. Additionally, the patient may have a higher deductible or co-insurance to pay compared to receiving care from a participating provider.
