What is a participating provider?from paddallas.com

As a participating network provider, the provider has contracted with the managed care health plan or “Network” to provide services at a negotiated fee which is typically less than the provider’s billed charge. The negotiated fee or “Contract/Network Discount” is provided to the provider and patient, in a statement referred to as the “Explanation of Benefits”, upon processing of the insurance claim. In addition to any discount, the explanation of benefits will include payment made by the insurance company, any patient amount owed for the services such as co-pays, coinsurance, deductibles and non-covered services. It is important that patients review these statements carefully to insure claims are paid according to the patient’s benefits and plan coverage. The amount noted in the patient responsibility does not include payments already made to the provider for the services. This would mean if the amount shown in the patient responsibility was already paid to the provider, additional payment should not be due to the provider.
