Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A provider who is able to balance-bill a patient for the amount over the carrier's allowed charge is a nonparticipating provider. Nonparticipating providers do not have a contract with the insurance company and are not obligated to accept the allowed amount as payment in full. Instead, they can bill the patient for any remaining balance after the insurance company has paid their portion.
