I need to know how to bill a patient who has both primary and secondary dental insurance. Is the patient's co-pay limited to the primary carrier's contracted amount or, because of the secondary, would they owe the full doctor's fee? If the secondary carrier's payment doesn't fully cover the patient's co-pay portion, what amount is the patient then responsible for? If the provider is bound to the primary carrier's contracted fee, regardless of what the secondary allows, does any remaining charge exceeding that contratced amount get written off? If the patient has deductibles on both plans, do they owe both deductibles? If I have left out any relevant questions, any and all pertinent information would be most helpful. Thank you.
