Whether a patient who doesn't have a copayment must be rescheduled is probably a matter between the patient and the provider.
copayment
Collect the copayment when the patient arrives for the office visit
Yes, typically you may be required to pay a copayment for a YAG capsulotomy, as it is a procedure performed in an outpatient setting. The exact amount can vary based on your insurance plan and whether the provider is in-network. It's best to check with your insurance provider for specific details regarding coverage and copayment amounts.
The answer to this question depends on what kind of secondary insurance you have - is it a group health plan? Is it a supplement? If Medicare is primary, there are still deductibles, copays, coinsurance that would need to be satisfied by your secondary insurance. Based on your question, I'm assuming that you have a group health plan with a copayment as your secondary insurance. If so, then yes, you would pay your copayment but it would not exceed the part B deductible.
No; this is a copayment (or "copay"). A co-insurance is a percentage that the insured is responsible for after meeting their deductible.
The set fee you pay each time you receive medical services is called a "copayment" or "copay." This is a fixed amount that patients are required to pay at the time of service, often as part of their health insurance plan. Copays can vary depending on the type of service received, such as a doctor's visit, specialist consultation, or prescription medication.
I had to answer this too and it was difficult. I believe the answer is: Because the doctor is in effect misstating the true fee, resulting in overpayment (if a bill is $100 and the copayment is $20, then the insurance company will pay $80. BUT if they excuse your copayment which you are SUPPOSED to pay, they then bill the insurance company $100 instead of only $80. that means they are misstating the true amount that is due and the insurance company is overpaying) i hope that helps!!
If the doctor's office routinely waves the copayment, it means they are willing to settle for whatever the insurance pays. Copayments range in price depending on your policy.
The definition of co-payment is a relatively small fixed fee required by a health insurer (as an HMO) to be paid by the patient for certain medical expenses. This can be at the time of office visits, outpatient service or filling of a prescription.
