Withhold in Medical Billing Explained

In medical billing, a withhold is often used in capitation or risk-sharing agreements, where a percentage of the provider’s payment is held back until the end of the year, based on performance or patient outcomes.

For example, an HMO withholds 10% of the provider’s payments until year-end when performance is reviewed.
