I have a question, when a pt has a secondary insurance and they allow less than the primary insurance did, so they do not pay the copay, do you have to write that off or can you bill it to the patient?

If the patient has a secondary is it a supplement? Why would the provider be concerned with the allowed amount of the secondary unless it is a government program? I bill the patient for the total allowed amount of the primary. If the secondary does not pick it up then bill the patient. If not done set a policy in the practice on how to handle a situation like this.
I say bill the patient.
