A further question...
What about the balance?
Patient has BCBS primary, medicare secondary.
BCBS allows 104.00, pays 74.00, patient's copay $30.00
Patient does not pay copay, asks to bill Medicare.
Secondary claim goes to Medicare...
Medicare allowable is 80.00, therefore pays 6.00 (up to medicare allowable).. can we bill the patient for the balance of their 30.00 copay (24.00)
?
