| Take caution with out-of-network billing strategies |
| Some ASCs might be tempted to exercise an out-of-network billing strategy, but before doing so, carefully consider the pros and cons involved.
For example, instead of signing an in-network contract with a preferred provider organization (PPO) with an agreed-upon contractual rate, some ASCs choose to go out of network.In these out-of-network arrangements, the ASC would instead bill the PPO customary charges, which are typically higher than the in-network rates. |
