WO in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, a write-off (WO) occurs when a provider reduces the amount owed by a patient, often due to contractual obligations with insurance companies or the inability to collect the full amount. Write-offs adjust the balance on the patient’s account.
For example, a provider writes off the portion of a bill that exceeds the allowed amount by the insurance company.
