Med Bill Check

Got a medical bill? See how a charge compares with what Medicare pays for the same service, then get a ready-to-edit letter to ask for an itemized bill, a review, a discount or financial help.

Check a whole bill

Type each line from your itemized bill as code, units and amount, one per line or separated by commas, for example 99284:2500, 85025x2:120, 36415:45. It flags repeated codes, units above Medicare's daily limits and charges far above what providers usually bill.

Is the hospital nonprofit?

Nonprofit hospitals must offer financial assistance. Look up how Medicare lists yours.

Draft a letter

Fill in what you know. Anything left blank appears in [brackets] for you to complete. You review and send it yourself.
