  • Title: Unbundling the confusion about "unbundling" of charges.
    Author: Fedor F.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 2006 Jan; 60(1):40-3. PubMed ID: 16433380.
    Abstract:
    Rejecting service codes on the basis that they have been unbundled has become a popular way for payers to reduce total billed charges. However, the contract between the hospital and the payer, and not Medicare or some hastily manufactured and inconsistent industry standard, controls the obligation to pay for healthcare services.
