MedBillCheckup

For US hospital and medical bills, and Explanations of Benefits

Find what on your medical bill is worth asking about.

Photograph or upload the bill. Your browser lays out every charge, checks the arithmetic and the dates, and hands you the questions worth asking your provider, each with the exact reason. We never tell you a charge is wrong, and we never see your bill.

Read your bill free, no account needed. See the findings for $6.99, or subscribe.

What a finding looks like

Possible duplicate charge

$250.00

Code 99214 appears twice for the same date of service: 03/26/2023, $250.00 each.

  • Line 1 · 99214 · OFFICE/OUTPT VISIT EST MOD$250.00
  • Line 2 · 99214 · OFFICE/OUTPT VISIT EST MOD$250.00

Ask the provider

“Was I seen twice on 03/26/2023? If not, please remove one of the two charges.”

From a sample bill, not a real one. A finding is something worth asking about, never a verdict.

Your bill is read on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

Your own browser reads the file and keeps it in its storage on this device. We have no copy and no way to get one; there is no database of bills on our side.

When you ask for the findings, only the figures you checked (amounts, dates, codes and the provider’s name) are sent once to run the checks, and nothing is kept. Your name, account number, date of birth and member ID are never sent.

How it works

Three steps, and you can stop after any of them. Reading is free; you pay only when you ask for the findings.

  1. 01

    Photograph or upload

    A photo of the paper bill, a scan or its PDF. Your own browser reads every line item, date, code and amount. The file is never uploaded.

  2. 02

    Check the figures

    See the figures laid out and correct anything we misread. Values we could not read confidently are highlighted, never guessed. This much is free, with no account.

  3. 03

    See what’s worth questioning

    Unlock the findings for this bill, or subscribe. Each one names the lines involved and the exact reason, with the questions to ask, a letter draft and a PDF report.

What we look for

Every check is ordinary arithmetic and comparison over what your document actually says. We tell you what we found, why it might matter, and exactly what to ask. We never tell you a charge is wrong.

  • Charges that appear more than once
  • Quantities worth confirming
  • Line totals that don’t match quantity × price
  • Items that don’t add up to the stated total
  • Amounts that don’t reconcile with insurance
  • Service dates that look inconsistent
  • Routine supplies billed on their own line
  • Everyday items priced far above retail
  • Information missing from the statement
  • Differences between your bill and your EOB

What happens to your bill

Medical bills are sensitive, so the design is simple: the bill stays on your device, and we keep nothing.

  • Your bill never leaves your device. The file is read by your own browser (a PDF’s text layer directly, a scan or photo by text recognition that runs on your machine) and kept in your browser’s storage. It is never uploaded. We have no copy and no way to get one.
  • One transmission, only when you ask for the findings. When you run the checks, your browser sends the figures it read (line items, amounts, dates, billing codes and the provider name) to a function that runs the checks in memory and returns the findings. It stores nothing. The patient’s name, account number, date of birth and member ID are never sent.
  • Nothing about your bill is stored on our side. There is no database of bills, no account holding your documents, and nothing of yours on any server. Your bills, results and letters live in your browser; you can download them as a file, import them on another device, or erase them at any time.
  • Stripe holds the payment record. If you pay for a bill or subscribe, Stripe takes the payment and keeps the record. Your browser keeps a signed receipt so you are never asked to pay for the same bill twice. Stripe never sees the bill.
  • Bill contents never go into logs, analytics or error reports. There are no analytics at all.
