The errors that hide in a medical bill

Medical bills are generated from coded line items, and coding mistakes are common. The single most useful step is to request a fully itemized bill — not the summary — because the summary hides the individual charges where errors live. Once you have the itemized version, you can compare it against your insurer's Explanation of Benefits (EOB) to see what was billed, what was allowed, and what you actually owe.

The most frequent problems are duplicate charges for the same service, quantity errors (being billed for more units than you received), unbundling (charging separately for things that should be one code), and services you never received. Surprise out-of-network charges are their own category and, in the U.S., are limited for many emergency and facility situations. The checker above helps you flag lines worth questioning.
