Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check my medical bill for errors?

Upload a photo or PDF of your bill using our free checker. We'll scan for duplicate charges, NCCI bundling violations, and compare your charges against Medicare rates. You can also request an itemized bill from your provider and compare each CPT code.

What percentage of medical bills have errors?

Industry studies report that 49-80% of medical bills contain at least one error. Common errors include duplicate charges, unbundling (billing separately for services that should be combined), upcoding, and charges for services not rendered.

Can I dispute a medical bill after paying?

Yes. Most billing departments will review paid bills if you provide documentation of errors within 1-2 years. Keep all itemized bills, EOBs, and payment records. Many patients recover hundreds to thousands of dollars by auditing bills they've already paid.

What are the most common hospital billing errors?

The six most common errors are: 1) Duplicate billing (same CPT code charged twice), 2) Unbundling/NCCI violations (separate charges for bundled services), 3) Upcoding (higher-level codes than warranted), 4) Pharmacy markups exceeding 500%, 5) Services not rendered, 6) Incorrect patient information causing denials.

Is my data safe when I upload my bill?

Yes. Our bill checker runs entirely in your browser. Your bill image is processed locally using OCR technology and is never uploaded to our servers. We don't store, collect, or transmit your medical information.

What should I do if I find an error on my bill?

Contact the billing department in writing, referencing specific CPT codes and line items. Explain the error clearly (duplicate charge, unbundling violation, service not received). Request a corrected bill and follow up if you don't hear back within 30 days.
