My hospital bill is one lump sum and I want to see each charge

Your options, best first

#1 Do it yourself

Request the itemized bill and EOB

  1. Call or write the billing office and ask for an itemized statement with billing codes.
  2. Ask your insurer for the Explanation of Benefits for the same visit.
  3. Do not pay until you can compare the two.
  4. Note the date of each request.
  5. Use the free letter on this site.

Safety: Do not send your full account number by unsecured email.

Stop and call a pro if: the provider refuses or ignores two written requests: file a complaint with your state insurance or health department.
