Medical knowledge is power
Studies have shown that 40% of Americans are confused by their medical bills… and rightfully so. 80% of medical bills have errors in it, such as double billings, overcharges, and incorrect dates of service. These medical billing errors are a substantial issue in our healthcare system, costing an estimated $935 million weekly.
We believe healthcare knowledge is power. Medical bills come with tons of procedure codes, a slew of medical jargon, and are overwhelmingly complicated. Consumers should be able to read and interpret the items on their medical bill easily, in their native language. Only then, do they have the knowledge to verify their bill or dispute errors with their provider.
That’s why we’ve built the “Understand Your Medical Bill” tool, to help you interpret your medical bill in plain language and catch potential billing errors instantly.
