Calculating Patients' Balances

After the insurance carrier makes a decision on a claim and the practice receives and posts the payment, the patient's balance must be calculated. The claim case studies in this section provide practice in calculating balances by using the latest payment information obtained from RAs for each patient in Chapter $15,$ Claim Cases $15\mathrm{.}1$ through $15\mathrm{.}20.$ Use this information to calculate each patient's balance in the following case studies.
