If you do not bill far more than the allowed amount, they will start to think the allowed amount is enough for you, and they pay a percentage of that.
For example, say Medicare's allowed amount is $100 for a service. They pay 80% of the allowed amount, or $80. You might think, if they are going to pay $80, just bill them that. If you do, you get $64, 80%
As a provider, you are better off billing a big number, accepting the smaller one that is a percentage of what they allow, and let the dance continue.
