Medicare covers help with your hospital bill

Big bill from the hospital and not sure what you actually owe? If you're on Original Medicare, we review the bill, check what Medicare should have covered, and work to bring the balance down. It's part of a Medicare-covered patient advocacy program.

A 15-minute call to talk through your situation and confirm if the program is a fit. No obligation.

Sound familiar?

  • The hospital bill is much higher than you expected.
  • You're not sure what Medicare actually covered and what you still owe.
  • The charges don't make sense and you can't get a clear answer.
  • You're worried about how you're going to pay.

If any of those describe your situation, we can help.

How we help

  • A line-by-line review of your bill against your EOB and Medicare Summary Notice
  • We check for billing errors, duplicate charges, and incorrect coding
  • We look for places Medicare should have paid more and appeal where appropriate
  • We help you apply for hospital financial assistance or charity care if you qualify
  • We negotiate with the hospital to bring the balance down where we can

We handle the calls, the paperwork, and the back-and-forth. You don't have to chase anyone.

How this is covered by Medicare

Bill help is part of our patient advocacy program for seniors on Original Medicare. Once you're enrolled through a brief visit with our provider, we handle bills, appeals, prior authorizations, and ongoing care coordination as your needs come up. Services are billed under Medicare's care management codes.

Most seniors with Medigap or other secondary insurance have no out-of-pocket cost for this service. For those without secondary coverage, standard Part B cost-sharing applies (typically 20% of the Medicare-allowed amount). We'll verify your specific coverage during your initial visit. Eligibility requirements apply.
