BillCheck: What To Do About a Large Medical Bill

What are my options when faced with a large medical bill? How to get the itemized bill that can actually be audited, run

the seven checks that find most of what is findable, work out which of four sets of rules protects you, and ask for the

correction in writing. Includes the 240-day financial assistance window and the 120-day self-pay dispute.

THE PROOF

44% of US adults with health care debt did not pay a bill in full in the past five years because they

were not sure the bill was accurate — not because the money was not there

Source: KFF, Health Care Debt Survey , fielded 25 February – 20 March 2022; 2,375 US adults, including 1,292 with current health care debt.

WHAT IT SETTLES

Read the bill, find the errors, know which rules protect you.
