I agree with Charlene if you are OON then it only makes sense to collect 100% up front becuase most of the time the carrier will send payment to the patient in these cases.  You get paid and the patient will get reimbursed from their carrier.

PMRNC:
You will not necessarily get 100% of your charge arbitrarily from the carrier. With all BCBS they do not honor assignment of benefits so checks will be sent to the insured/patient. However you can bill the patient for 100%. There might be deductibles, coinsurance and U&C cuts which would all be patient responsibility. I agree with the others that when dealing with non par BCBS patients to collect up front. I always alert my provider when I verify benefits and they in turn will tell the patient before the visit that they must pay at the time of service. Some of my providers that have left BCBS have also sent out letters to patients to let them know in advance.
