How will posting an amount applied to a deductible affect the balance due on a patient account?

What will be an ideal response?


It will not change the balance due for those charges to which a deductible was applied. This is because the patient (or certain secondary plans) will pay for these amounts out-of-pocket. The deductible is the cost-share portion that must be met before the health plan begins to pay benefits.
