I am looking for the definition of a servicing provider? A Rendering Provider? AND A Billing Provider? If you can provide your source it would be much appreciated.

To me, the rendering and servicing provider would mean the same thing. The person who actually personally performed the service. I suppose there could be situations where it's not the same. Maybe DME? Not anything I can recall coming across in my profee coding/billing.
The billing provider is the person or company the services are being billed under.
There are many situations in where the rendering/servicing provider is different than the billing provider (incident-to, teaching physicians, locum tenens, mid-level providers reassigning benefits to a group, etc.)
