⚖️ What Balance Billing Is
When the provider charges you the difference your insurance won't pay.
How balance billing happens in hospitals
- Balance billing occurs when a doctor or hospital charges you for the remaining amount your insurance plan does not cover.
- This usually happens if you see an out-of-network provider who has no contract with your **health insurance** company.
- The provider may bill you for their full standard rate instead of the discounted rate your insurer pays.
