How Can Patients Ensure They Are Billed Correctly?
Patients can take several steps to ensure accurate billing:
Review Bills: Carefully review all medical bills and Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statements. Ask Questions: If there are any discrepancies or unclear charges, patients should contact their healthcare provider or insurance company. Keep Records: Maintain copies of all medical bills, EOBs, and correspondence with healthcare providers and insurance companies. Understand Coverage: Be aware of the details of their insurance coverage, including co-pays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket maximums.
