Question / Problem
|
Is it appropriate to offer a cash discount to an Uninsured patient who is paying cash for services?
|
Solution
|
Absolutely, Typically practices offer 10-30% cash discount to uninsured patients who pay cash for services. The discount is in exchange for the practice not incurring the associated costs to bill an insurance company for the service. Be sure your discounted fee is still above Medicare's allowable as you do not want to offer services below this rate.
