What does a doctor or other health care provider do when an insurance company pays only part of an invoice?

The answer would depend on if the health care provider was private practice or 3rd party govt funded (County Hospitals, County EMS).
In either case the patient is generally billed for the remaining balance of the procedure after insurance has paid their predetermined portion.
In the private sector if the bill is not satisfied by the patient after several billing cycles they are generally turned over to collections.
Anyone owing money to either the county hospital system or EMS after several billing cycles here in SC will find their tax refunds, if there is one, garnished for the due amount(s) by the state revenue service.
