Question

If a pt pays a $20.00 copay, the Insurance reimburses the doctor 450.00 and the total charge for the visit Is $630.00. What Is the total write off amount

Answer 1

The total write-off amount can be calculated as the the difference between the total charge for the visit and the sum of what the patient pays and what the insurance reimburses:

Total Write-Off = Total Charge - (Patient Copay + Insurance Reimbursement)
Total Write-Off = $630.00 - ($20.00 + $450.00)

Total Write-Off = $630.00 - $470.00

Total Write-Off = $160.00

So, the total write-off amount in this scenario is $160.00.
