been going down a medical billing rabbit hole lately and keep seeing people with like $1k-$2k ER bills that they think were coded wrong

now my whole feed is these companies that say they'll "audit your bill and negotiate it for you". anyone actually used one? did they find something real or did they just call the billing department the same way i could've done myself for free

tempted but also paying someone + handing my entire medical history to some sites feels a little off

maybe dumb question but i've been going down a rabbit hole on medical bills/eobs and i don't get how anyone deals with this

you get a bill. then an eob shows up with a different set of numbers. sometimes they don't even match and there's codes everywhere

and every single guide says "check your bill for errors" ok but HOW 😭😭 how do you know what's an error if you don't already know how billing works

anyway if you ever got a bill that seemed way off, what happened. did you figure out what was going on or just pay it
