Ann Smith just saw her doctor. After the appointment, she was informed by the receptionist that the fee for the visit is $75 and that her insurance company will be billed for the visit. Ann was also notified that her insurance company will pay all of the fee except for the $20 co-pay, which she pays with her debit card right away.
