Bones are often used as symbols of fear and death, such as the ever popular skull and cross bones. Sadly, this gives bones a bad reputation at times. Bones may appear simple, but they are quite fascinating and serve many important functions. They have a life all their own.
Balance billing. Balance billing, sometimes also called extra billing, is the practice of a healthcare provider billing a patient for the difference between what the patient's health insurance chooses to reimburse and what the provider chooses to charge. Advocates of balance billing argue that it increases the incomes of high-quality healthcare providers, and serves as a measure of their dissatisfaction with insurance company fees. Critics say that balance billing lets providers raise charges through stealth rat
â¢ If the provider is deemed or contracted, and the balance billing is explicitly included in the Medi-PakÂ® Advantage LPPOcontract with the provider or in the terms and conditions of payment, it may balance bill up to 15% of the total plan payment amount for services, for which the beneficiary is responsible.
