Describe some ways reimbursement may be affected by a patient who receives services from an out-of-network provider.
What will be an ideal response?
If a patient receives services from an out-of-network provider, various situations can occur. With some plans, the services may not be covered at all, and will therefore not be paid. With other types of plans, going out-of-network may reduce the amount of coverage, increasing the patient’s out-of-pocket responsibility. Examples include plans that have a $20.00 co-payment in network, but a deductible and percentage of coverage (60/40) when services are
sought out-of-network.
