After you visit a provider, you may get a bill telling you how much you have to pay.
After you get care, your provider sends a bill, or “claim,” to your insurance company. Your insurance company handles the claim and sends you an Explanation of Benefits (EOB).
Doctors and insurers use standard codes for each medical service or supply. That helps them communicate about treatments and payments clearly.
Medical supplies and equipment, such as bandages and wheelchairs, and ambulance rides are often listed separately on bills and Explanation of Benefits (EOB) forms.
