The maximum amount of money that a third-party payer will pay for a specific procedure or service is called the "allowed amount" or "maximum allowable charge." This amount is determined by the payer's policies and agreements with healthcare providers and may vary based on factors such as location, type of service, and the patient's insurance plan. Any costs above this amount are typically the responsibility of the patient, unless otherwise covered by their insurance.
