- What is the maximum amount the physician is allowed to charge the patient?
- What is the Medicare portion of the physician payment (which Medicare sends to the patient)?
- What is the patient’s portion of the payment to the physician (net of the reimbursement from Medicare in the previous question)?
- Would the physician have been better off by accepting assignment on this case? Why or why not?
