insurance reimbursement

Coverage pays back

Insurance reimbursement is payment from an insurance company to cover expenses a policyholder has already paid out of pocket.

In healthcare, patients often pay providers directly, then submit claims for reimbursement: I'm still waiting on insurance reimbursement for that ER visit.

The term also applies to payments insurers make directly to providers after services are rendered.
