Co-Provider Billing at OhioHealth
Understanding co-provider billing
When multiple healthcare providers are involved in your care, each may bill separately. For example, during surgery, both the surgeon and anesthesiologist will bill for their services. This co-provider billing means you might receive more than one bill. Learn about the services billed separately and who to contact for assistance.
