self-pay
No insurance billing
Self-pay describes paying for services directly out of pocket rather than through insurance or a third party.
The term appears most often in healthcare contexts: The clinic offers discounts for self-pay patients.
A self-pay option may be chosen when someone lacks insurance coverage or prefers not to file a claim.
