I requested an itemized bill from my providers but I don't know what is legitimate or if I should dispute any of the charges

Hi Stef B,

That's a really touch question. Knowing whether or not charges are legitimate and if they should be disputed is often dependent on the insurance you have (if any) and the reason you went to see the doctor. There are of course obvious things to look out for such as duplicate charges. Other than that medical billing is anything but straight forward and easy to understand.

We have a partnership with a company called Medical Bill Review Services which helps people manage their claims and dispute irrelevant charges. If you would like Patsy's contact information I would be more than happy to send that your direction. Feel free to email me at kwelty@changehealthcare.com.

We are also coming out with a new version of the change:healthcare site in February. It will be much more helpful in allowing you to determine what other people we typically billed for a certain procedure or health issue as well as what other people ended up paying.

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.

Thanks!
