determine what amount is payable; if the surgeon's bill is more than the allowed charge set by the insurer,
it is up to the insured to pay the surgeon the difference. If the surgeon's bill is less than the allowed
charge, the insurer will pay only the full amount billed; the claim payment will never exceed the amount
charged.
