Beneficiary Liability
Liabilities include copayments, deductibles, and balance billing amounts.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has very strict rules about health providers billing patients for their liabilities.
Cost based facilities are not allowed to charge non-payment by beneficiaries to bad debt unless a clear history of collection activity is recorded.

Smart Card
Definition: An electronic device about the
size of a credit card that contains electronic memory and, increasingly, an embedded microchip.
The cards are used to store data-in a health care context, this is often personal health information.
The data can be accessed using a smart card reader: a device into which the card is inserted. Smart cards are not the same as magnetic stripe cards, such as most credit cards; smart cards typically can store more information.
