Confusing bill for a minor surgery
However then 5 months later we get one other EOB from the hospital saying quantity billed is 63k, plan paid 16k, we owe 2.7k. My concern is the road gadgets on this invoice make no sense. Many prices are repeated , notably two giant ones for 16.8k every. To make issues extra sophisticated the precise invoice from the hospital has completely totally different line gadgets than the EOB ( however the quantity due is identical ). Find out how to inform if I used to be double charged or if some error was made ? Really feel form of dumb simply to pay it blindly when it is senseless:

Whereas two of these prices are for a similar quantity (~$16k), they don’t seem like double-charges. One is labeled as laboratory providers, the opposite as provides. Out of curiosity, did you spend two nights within the hospital? (I agree with calling their monetary providers division to speak issues over. You might also have the ability to get some extra info out of your insurance coverage firm.)

Begin with the hospital. And sure, they will stroll you thru the road gadgets, or if you wish to save time, simply concentrate on the massive ones.

That is an EOB. I simply checked the hospital bill and it has completely totally different line gadgets. They’re a bit extra descriptive, however not one of the quantities match the road gadgets on the EOB. Nonetheless, the quantity due from the hospital bill is identical as from the EOB, i.e 2.7k.

I’ve executed this many instances earlier than and it may be an enormous PIA however well-worth it when there’s 1000’s of {dollars} at stake. I’ve caught errors many instances which have decreased my out-of-pocket price.
What it is advisable do is name up the hospital and ask for a detailed invoice (the usual invoice is at all times too imprecise and high-level). Then query something on there that appears odd, duplicative, or prefer it does not belong. Then cross-reference along with your EOB. This may in all probability additionally require calling your insurance coverage firm as nicely to know how the EOB maps to your hospital’s detailed invoice.
NB: Usually you’ll get separate payments from the Suppliers (docs, surgeons, and so forth.) and from the power (hospital and working room prices). Generally Lab/Pathology prices will likely be billed individually, and generally if there is a specific non-public group of docs contracted to the hospital you might get extra payments (e.g. payments from a personal group of surgeons after which additionally payments from employed or different non-public group Radiologists).

I might solely be involved in regards to the ones the place YOU need to pay a big quantity.
In case your medical health insurance plan paid for different prices that is between the plan and the supplier.
The closest serving to hand is on the finish of your personal arm.
