Balance billing may occur when a patient receives a bill for an episode of care previously believed to be in-network and therefore covered by the insurance company, or when an insurance company contributes less money than expected for a medical service.
Griffin Name Meaning. Welsh: from a medieval Latinized form, Griffinus, of the Welsh personal name Gruffudd (see Griffith). English: nickname for a fierce or dangerous person, from Middle English griffin âgryphonâ (from Latin gryphus, Greek gryps, of Assyrian origin). Irish: Anglicized (part translated) form of Gaelic Ã³ GrÃ­obhtha âdescendant of GrÃ­obhthaâ, a personal name from grÃ­obh âgryphonâ.
The name originates from the English vocabulary word raven, which in turn is ultimately derived from the Old English hrÃ¦fn. As a masculine name, Raven parallels the Old Norse Hrafn, and the Old English *HrÃ¦fn, which both mean raven. As a feminine name, Raven is among several other names derived from birds; names such as Dove, Kestrel, and Teal. Names derived from vocabulary words, such as the mentioned bird names, increased in popularity as feminine names in the English-speaking world during the 20th century.
