The Difference Between Health Care Coverage and Discount Health Insurance
Pinnacle Health Solutions is an online service provider of health care coverage. Our rates are very low (if not the lowest), however, (as many readers may be skeptical), this is NOT a discount health plan. Pinnacle Health Solutions, known as PinnacleHealthSavings.com IS a PPO Network for both medical and dental practice(s). This means you choose your own doctors, we don’t choose them for you.
It also means that your health care provider (the doctor you choose) submits your bill to our underwriting department. You are responsible to make the co-payment in the office at the time of your service, for doctor visits, your co-pay amount will be $25. Gimmicky discount insurance plans will not offer submissions to underwriters or allow co-payments, therefore not really offering the consumer the presumed financial benefit.
What is the difference between an office visit and an outpatient visit?
My doctor’s office is in a hospital and because my scheduled visit with this doctor was billed as an outpatient visit rather than as an office visit, my insurance would not pay for it. I’m confused as to what the difference is between an office visit and an outpatient visit. The appointment was scheduled far in advance and was in no way an emergency room visit.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
