Bundling in Medical Billing Explained
In bundling, related services that occur during the same episode of care, such as surgery and post-operative care, are grouped together and billed as one charge. Insurance companies prefer bundled payments to reduce administrative costs and avoid paying separately for each component of care.
For example, a patient undergoing surgery may receive one bill that includes pre-operative, operative, and post-operative services as a bundled charge.
