Understanding the Medical Billing

Insurance companies have set up networks in most of the major cities, these consist of the hospital, physicians, and subsidiary providers who agree to sign a contract to accept the “reasonable” amount as payment in full for a given service. So, understanding medical billing is significant.

Every insurance company has its definition of reasonable, so the contracted amount may differ significantly among the insurers.

The services offered and the claim consists of the process and system for the diagnosis are generated mechanically, and filed automatically with the Insurance Company. Each process code is paid according to the amount agreed upon in the provider’s contract with your insurer.

Understanding the perspective of this process may be a big support as you inspect the detailed billing, you receive from your provider and the explanation of benefits sent by your insurance company. But finding mistakes can still be complicated.

The mistakes that are made by the provider’s office include incorrect bills, or regarding anything of which nothing has been performed.

The insurance company, on the other hand, may incorrectly determine that a procedure is not covered or not medically necessary. It might say a service provider is not in-network when you’ve been told by the provider that they are in.

Another common mistake is that an in-network provider but doesn’t write off the disallowed amount and instead bills you for the difference!

There might be crazy billing errors that might be taken care of. A patient at a well-known medical center was referred to coverage through any of the insurance companies and wanted to be treated at a nationally known medical center since his life was in danger.

Unfortunately, the medical center refused to take his insurance – claiming that it was out of network, and instead, they require a lump sum up-front payment before they would perform this life-saving surgery.

Check your medical bill carefully. It’s very common for hospitals and other health care providers to just throw charges at patients to see what they’ll pay.
