Does using a provider who has agreed to direct billing mean the member does not have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses?

Even though a provider may direct bill Goose for services rendered, the member is still responsible for any deductible, coinsurance or other expenses not considered as an eligible medical expense. Since the medical provider is rendering the service, they make the ultimate decision whether or not to require some form of deposit and/or other funds to cover the financial responsibility of the member.
