A Rendering Provider is the specific individual healthcare professional who performs a service or delivers care directly to a patient. The term Rendering Provider is used to distinguish someone from a Referring Provider or Billing Provider.

Referring Provider: The provider who refers the patient for a service, but doesn't provide the service themselves. (setup in NikoHealth's Referral Hub)

Billing Provider: The organization or practice that submits the claim to the insurance company for payment. (setup in NikoHealth's Corporate Setup)

Rendering Provider: The person or entity who performs the actual procedure or service for the patient that's been reported on the claim form. (setup in NikoHealth's Billing Setup)
