I'm going with B. It makes sense that the no-balance billing clause would require Dr. Ware to accept Riverside's payment as full payment, no matter how low it is. *chuckles* Gotta love those provider contracts!

D is the correct answer. The no-balance billing clause should stop Dr. Ware from charging the member for services that aren't part of Riverside's plan coverage.

I think A is the right answer. The no-balance billing clause should prevent Dr. Ware from making the member pay any cost-sharing like coinsurance or deductibles that Riverside's plan covers.

The correct answer is B. The no-balance billing clause in Dr. Ware's contract requires him to accept Riverside's payment as full compensation and not bill the member for additional amounts. This protects the member from unexpected costs.
