Compare with your EOB

Your insurer sends an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) after a claim.

What an EOB is

It shows what was billed, what insurance paid and what you may owe. It is not a bill.

Match line by line

Compare each service on the bill with the EOB.

Differences

If the bill asks for more than the EOB says you owe, ask the provider why.
