Length of Stay (Days in the Hospital): Is it possible that
the hospital can make an error and charge for the day you were admitted and the
day you were discharged? Yes, check these dates with those on your medical bill
“explanation of benefits”.
Wrong Room Charges: What
kind of room were you in? Was it private or Semi-private? Check to see that you
were not being charged for a private room when you indeed shared the room with
another patient.
Double Billing: Do you know what tests or
medications you received? Check to ensure the accuracy of this bill to confirm
with what you were provided during your hospital stay and prevent duplicate
billing.
Keyboard Error: Are bill errors Common? Yes, national
statistics show that over 80% of medical bills have overcharges due to errors.
Most hospital documentation is now completed on a computer by physicians,
nurses, and other ancillary staff. If there is an error in typing, this can
cost you hundreds to thousands of dollars that you are not required to pay for
services you did not receive. Make sure you examine your bill thoroughly or
contact BILL RIGHT, LLC at (573) 205-5803 to do it for you.
OR Time:
It is very common and for a hospital to document more time that was spent
in the operating room than was actually used. It is your right to compare this
time to the records documented by the anesthesiologist.
Incorrect
Billing Code: Hospitals sometimes will order a lower cost medication or
service, however the wrong billing code is entered and the patient is
inadvertently charged for a more expensive medication or service. As your
personal advocate, Bill Right can examine your bills in detail and eliminate
all errors, including incorrect coding.
Services Rendered: Are
you aware of all the services that you received or medications you were given?
Check your bill to make sure that you were not charged for services that you
did not receive.
Canceled Orders: Physicians normally order
tests and procedures, as well as medications that are sometimes subsequently
cancelled. Make sure you were not charged for a service that was cancelled and
you did not receive.
