Most insurance carriers keep a fee profile for each provider's charges. This profile reflects the amount of each charge for each service and can affect the providers reimbursement for those services.

There are basically four ways that fees are collected for service in the healthcare industry. Fee for service is when physicians are paid for every single service and/or test they give based on the fees of other physicians charge in their local area.

Do physicians travel?

Besides traveling for vacations or recreation, some physicians travel to give care. Around 2005, "visiting physicians" began going out into patients' homes, almost as a return to the bedside care physicians gave before the 1940s. Hospitals had completely replaced time in the home, but with nursing "home care" it was only a matter of time before physicians also returned to treat at a patient's home. As well, some physicians are hired by high profile persons such as politicians or celebrities and many travel with the patient worldwide, on a yearly salary and contract.
