An itemized bill is a detailed statement from your healthcare provider that lists every single charge, procedure, and supply used during your visit. Most importantly, it includes medical codes like CPT®, HCPCS, or DRG codes. This is different from a "summary bill" which just shows a single total.

You have a legal right to an itemized bill under HIPAA. Simply call your provider's billing department and say: "I am requesting a fully itemized statement with CPT® and HCPCS codes for my recent visit." They are required to provide it to you.

We currently support ER visits, hospital stays (inpatient and outpatient), lab work, imaging (X-rays, MRIs), and clinic visits. We do not yet support ambulance, eye, dental, or psychiatric facility bills.

ER visit costs often include facility fees, provider charges, labs, imaging, medications, and supplies. An itemized bill helps show what you were actually charged for and whether any line items deserve a closer look.

While every case is different, many users find overcharges ranging from $200 to $2,000. For major hospital stays, errors can sometimes reach into the tens of thousands. Our goal is to ensure you only pay the fair, market-standard rate.

No. Never. We are a patient-advocacy tool. We do not share your individual data with insurers, hospitals, or marketers. We only use anonymized, aggregated data to help other patients see what "fair prices" look like in their area.
