ABSTRACT
When the word "surprise" is used as a noun, it generally describes an unexpected event. When "surprise" is used in conjunction with "billing", it conjures up images with which even the most hardened backroom medical administrator can empathize. One's first reaction is likely patient based, that a person received medical services from a health care provider or facility that are larger than anticipated in-network charges. As a result, the bill for services incorporates that, no-doubt unpleasant, surprise. The whole truth is understandably more complex. Radiology groups contract with insurance companies who for their own reasons, might have historically preferred progressively narrower networks. Nonetheless, these contracts allow providers the opportunity to negotiate reasonable payments for services rendered. Events have changed the historic dynamic between providers and insurance companies.
