What are three methods of collecting insurance payments?

Three methods for collecting payments: 1. Patient pays in full and fi les an insurance claim. Some medical offices require patients to pay the full amount of their bill at the time of the visit. These offices provide the patient with an encounter form that includes the information required in order to fi le a claim with an insurance plan. 2. Patient pays, but the medical office fi les the claim form. Some medical offices file claims for patients. In this case, the patient may be required to pay at the time of the visit, and the insurance plan reimburses the patient. This idea is gaining in popularity because billing errors are reduced, and physicians may be paid sooner for their services. 3. Insurance plan pays medical office; the patient pays remainder. Most medical offices fi le the insurance claims, accepting "assignment of benefits" for at least some of the insurance plans. Payment is then sent directly to the doctor. When the insurance check arrives, the patient is responsible for any portion not covered by the insurance plan.

Coinsurance refers to a small fee that must be paid by the patient at the time of an office visit.?

The small fee that is paid at the time of the office visit is called a copay. The copay amount, usually $15.00 to $30.00 depending on your plan, is all that you pay for the cost of the office visit. Coinsurance is a percentage of a larger hospital medical bill that you pay after you meet your deductible. For instance, if you have a "80/20" plan, with a $1000.00 deductible you are responsible for the first $1000.00 of the bill. Then the insurance company pays 80% of the bill and you pay 20% of the bill. The 20% is your coinsurance.

How do health insurance copays work?

A co-pay is a flat payment that is the responsibility of the patient that is assessed to an event; such as a doctor visit or a prescription purchase. Similare to a copay...co-insurance is typically a calendar year responsibility of the patient; such as 20% or 30% that is paid by the patient after meeting a deductible (if applicable). There is usually a maximum out-of-pocket limit, such as $1,000, $2,000 or higher that is the most a member can pay prior to the plan paying 100% during a calendar or benefit year. Copays do not always count toward the out-of-pocket limit. Example of how a co-pay event might work.... Patient visits doctor for cold. Patient pays $20 co-pay at time of visit.Doctor bills insurance $100 for "sticker price" of the visit and $20 for labwork.Because the doctor is a contracted "in-network" provider, the insurance carrier only allows $65 to be charged for the office visit. Since $20 has already been paid by the patient, they send a payment to the doctor of $45. The insurance carrier determines that the $30 is subject to coinsurance and pays 80% and determines that the patient is responsible for the other 20% - or $4. The patient would ultimately receive a bill from the doctor for $4.
