Double Billing in Medical Billing
Double billing occurs when a healthcare provider submits multiple claims for the same service, leading to duplicate charges.
Double Billing in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, double billing is a common error that can lead to overpayment and potential audits or penalties. It may happen due to clerical errors or miscommunication between departments. Once identified, the duplicate claim must be corrected, and any overpayments refunded.
For example, if a clinic submits two separate claims for the same patient visit, it constitutes double billing.
