Most billing mistakes are not fraud. They are timing, coding or insurance errors that can be fixed, if you know where to look. This one-page checklist walks you through the same 15 checks a billing professional runs before a patient pays anything.
What’s inside
- Before you pay: matching your bill to your EOB and asking for an itemized bill
- Line-by-line checks: duplicate charges, services you did not get, bundled supplies, visit levels
- Your protections: the No Surprises Act, Good Faith Estimate disputes and insurance appeals
- If you still can’t pay: financial assistance, discounts and payment plans
- A short script to use when you call the billing office
