Patient pays, but the medical office fi les the claim form. Some medical offices file claims for patients. In this case, the patient may be required to pay at the time of the visit, and the insurance plan reimburses the patient. This idea is gaining in popularity because billing errors are reduced, and physicians may be paid sooner for their services. 3. Insurance plan pays medical office; the patient pays remainder. Most medical offices fi le the insurance claims, accepting "assignment of benefits" for at least some of the insurance plans. Payment is then sent directly to the doctor. When the insurance check arrives, the patient is responsible for any portion not covered by the insurance plan.
