Thank you for taking the time to show us these examples of the calculation process. I am currently studying for my CPB exam and this really helps. This is the process where I seem to get lost. So again, thanks and I would love to see some more of these. I love your channel. Keep up the great work.

I struggle to know when a payer is going to apply a copay versus coinsurance. Which can make it hard to give an accurate estimate. Running benefits on the payer will often show a copay and coinsurance but how do I know which applies to which CPT code? If they're going to only pay a copay for the visit or coinsurance for the allowed amount? I hope that makes sense..

When do you check for a coinsurance responsibility? Before the patient gets the service (so they pay it at the beginning ?) or do you process the insurance and then charge the patient ?…if we don’t know what the allowed amount I’m he saying it’s after we get the EOB

Thank you for your comment! There’s not really a one size fits all when it comes to coinsurance calculations. It would depend upon the specialty of your practice, and how often, in advance of the patient going back for care, you know exactly what the provider is intending to do with the patient. If it is an unknown until after the patient has been care for then you may have to wait until check out.

Thank you for clarifying this up. I do have an additional issue when it comes to seeing a disputed amount. I'm not weather to bill the patient or write it off if no secondary insurance. I work in a chiropractic office now and I multitask all day and it has gotten me in trouble. Yes I had left me not being able to ask the same question beyond two.

I'd be very cautious with writing it off, if it is anything other than a CO45 (contractual adjustment), without prior approval from your boss. Any denial is going to come with a code on the EOB, and if your boss says you can write it off then you can go ahead and save it for reference in the future.

I live in the State of Washington. It has Regence and Premera. Since they are both associated with Blue Cross Blue Shield what is the difference between the two? Any advantage of one over the other? Love these Vids!

Yay! So happy you are finding value! They are two separate companies that license BC/BS and each "own" different areas of Washington state. In addition to Washington St. Premera also services Alaska and Regence also services areas of Idahos. Other than that they are both BCBS carriers and will have competitive plans but they are not permitted to sell plan with Zips assigned to the other companies region. I hope that makes sense.

Yes, quite often especically in practices especially where two separate benefits could apply. For example, there may be a copay for the ortho exams (E&M) and a coinsurance for physical therapy. Does that help?

For example billed amount 500 allowed any 250 so provider only get 250 right. Where does the remaining 250 goes
@InleraU
2 жыл бұрын
If the provider is in-network (contracted) with the insurance. It gets written off as a contractual adjustment. They cannot bill the patient. If they are not in-network the practice/provider can balance bill the patient for the remaining balance.
