healthcare reimbursement

Healthcare reimbursement is the process by which healthcare providers are paid for the services they deliver. After a patient receives care, the provider submits a claim to an insurance company or government program, which reviews and then pays a predetermined amount based on the coverage plan and negotiated rates. The patient may be responsible for some costs, like copayments or deductibles. Reimbursement helps ensure providers are compensated fairly for their work, supporting ongoing patient care and the sustainability of healthcare services.
