Charges in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, charges are the total amount billed for a patient’s care, including procedures, medications, tests, and supplies. These charges are submitted to the patient’s insurance company or directly to the patient for payment. The charges reflect the provider’s pricing and must align with contracted rates if the provider is in-network.
For example, a patient’s bill includes charges for a consultation, lab work, and medications prescribed during the visit.
