Question

A PPO uses a discount on charge arrangement. Marie incurred total charges by a hospital of ​$20 comma 300​, and the percentage paid to the provider is 70​%. ​Marie's contract with the PPO specifies her​ co-pay as 20​%.How much does Marie have to pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2,842

Explanation:

total amount that the PPO will pay = $20,300 x 70% = $14,210

Marie has to pay 20% of that amount = $14,210 x 20% = $2,842

A preferred provider organization (PPO) is a type of healthcare insurance that provides discounts if you use their network physicians and providers. In this case, Marie received a 30% for going to that hospital.
