PR-119

Benefit maximum reached, patient responsibility

Patient responsibility; billable to the patient

What it means
The plan cap is exhausted and remaining charges fall to the patient.
Likely cause
Session limits hit mid-year with no benefit tracking at scheduling.
How to fix it
Track remaining visits per patient and convert to a self-pay agreement before the cap, not after.
Revenue impact
Collectible with advance notice; otherwise a write-off and an unhappy patient.
  • benefit maximum
  • patient responsibility
  • prevention
