To determine the amount the patient pays to the provider, we need to calculate the difference between the physician's fee and the patient's copayment.

In this case, the physician's fee is $150, and the patient's copayment is $10. Therefore, the amount the patient pays to the provider is $150 - $10 = $140.

To determine the amount the payer reimburses the provider, we need to calculate 80% of the $75 fee schedule.

Firstly, we find 80% of $75 by multiplying $75 by 0.80. This gives us $75 * 0.80 = $60. Therefore, the amount the payer reimburses the provider is $60.

To find the amount the provider "writes off" the account, we need to calculate the difference between the physician's fee and the payer's reimbursement.

In this case, the physician's fee is $150, and the payer's reimbursement is $60. Therefore, the amount the provider "writes off" the account is $150 - $60 = $90.

This is simple math. The patient's copay is $10. That's what the patient pays.

The fee is $150. The insurance company pays the doctor 80% of $75.00. The doctor/provider writes off the rest of $140 (150 minus the $10 copay).
