Write-Off in Medical Billing
A write-off is the portion of a medical bill that a provider removes, typically due to insurance adjustments or uncollectible debts.
Write-Off in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, write-offs occur when the amount billed is higher than what the insurance company allows, or when the provider agrees to forgive a portion of the debt. This reduces the outstanding balance but can also reduce the provider’s revenue.
For example, a provider writes off $200 of a $1,000 bill due to an insurance adjustment.
