I've been working on CE's and came across this 'self test' question:
A Medicare patient is seen by as non-participating physician who accepts assignment. The office fee is $100 and the Medicare allowable is $80. Assuming the beneficiary has not met their annual deductible, the office would bill the patient for ________________.
a.) $16.00
b.) $20.00
c.) $76.00
d.) $80.00
Why is the correct answer c?
Thanks!
