Case Studies

Real bills we’ve seen

Healthcare billing errors happen constantly. Here are some examples that show what’s possible when you know what to look for.

Shoulder surgery

Billed

$19,030

Should have been

$6,800

The provider’s billed amount was nearly 3× the rate posted in their own transparency-in-coverage data. Reviewing the bill against publicly available rates revealed the error, and the patient was able to get the bill corrected.

ACL reconstruction surgery

Billed (out-of-network)

$27,142

Final settlement

$2,200

The facility was out-of-network without the patient’s knowledge, and the insurance company refused to pay the in-network rate. After three years of disputes, the bill was settled at less than 10% of the original amount.

Emergency room visit

Billed

$4,600

Reduced to

$1,700

The visit involved observation and basic medications — but was upcoded as high-severity. Identifying the upcoding and disputing the level of care reduced the bill by 63%.

Routine vaginal birth

Billed across 9 providers over 10 months

$22,000

Reduced to

$12,000

Multiple providers billing separately is normal for childbirth, but it makes errors easy to miss. A simple bill review against benchmarked rates in the region cut the total by nearly half.
