The patient is seen by his family physician for follow-up treatment of recently diagnosed asthmatic bronchitis. The physician's fee is $75. The patient's copayment is $20, and the patient is not required to pay any additional amount to the provider. The payer reimburses the physician $28.
1. How much does the patient pays the provider? $20 (as stated in the question)
2. How much does the payer reimburse the provider? $28 (as stated in the question)
3. How much does provider write off? $27 (after adding the copayment and reimbursement, I subtract the total from $75, which gives me $27 for the write-off)
Are the answers correct? If not, could you please help explain how to figure out the correct amounts.
