Cost Share in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, cost sharing divides the financial responsibility between the patient and the insurance company. The insurance company covers a portion of the medical expenses, while the patient is responsible for paying the remainder, which is the cost share.
For example, a patient might have to pay 20% of the cost of a surgery, while the insurance covers the remaining 80%.
