Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Offering patients a cash discount when the entire fee is paid at the time of service is legal, as long as the discount is not offered only to patients with insurance. This is because giving discounts to patients with insurance could be seen as an illegal kickback to incentivize patients to pay out of pocket and avoid going through their insurance.
