Doctor Overcharged Copay

Office Visit (MAD) $20 copay per visit/100% no deductible (MAD) = Mental, Alcohol, Drug. First appointment, they charged me $95 before the appointment began. I hadn't expected that given what I'd looked up above, but I was not wanting to bail on the appointment due to an unexpectedly high bill, so I paid and saw the doc. Know how your insurance covers urgent care visits before you go. If you have a PPO plan, the copay may be more than a regular office visit copay (e.g., $75 urgent care copay vs. $50 specialist copay vs. $25 primary care copay). However, usually, urgent care co-pays are less than emergency room visit co-pays (which are often $100 or more). According to People's Medical society, a nonprofit medical consumer rights organization, three-quarters of hospital bills have overcharges to the tune of $1000 on the average. They state that doctor's also are padding their bills. So what are you to do?:::::::: There are several strategies to lower your out-of-pocket costs if your health insurance isn't comprehensive enough, or if you don't.

Doctor Overcharged Copay Card

I know that if a patient's copay is higher than the fee schedule we only can charge the patient the lower amount, which is the fee schedule. My Doctor's seem to think we can charge the patient the higher copay of $50.00 knowing the insurance company fee schedule is going to stat $45.00 copay. Mr Doctor's are told that they are able to keep the difference of $5.00 because the patient has an agreement with the insurance company to pay $50.00. Can someone send me written proof that I am correct so I prove it to my bosses.
