Ancillary charges in medical billing refer to additional services provided during a patient’s care that are not part of the primary procedure or service.
Ancillary Charges in Medical Billing Explained
Ancillary services include items like laboratory tests, radiology, medication, or physical therapy that support the primary treatment but are billed separately. These charges are often necessary for complete care but can add to the total cost of treatment.
For example, a patient who undergoes surgery may also incur ancillary charges for blood work and X-rays performed before and after the procedure.
