Medical Bill Analysis

Medical Bill Analysis

Medical Bill Analysis

Bill analysis reviews itemized charges against the treatment record, identifying services billed but not documented, upcoded complexity levels, unbundled charges, duplicates, and amounts exceeding usual and customary rates.

It also separates charges related to the claimed injury from unrelated treatment.

Alternative Names:

Bill Review Analysis, Medical Charge Analysis

Why it Matters?

Billing analysis frequently reduces claimed medical specials substantially, and the reductions come from categories that are objectively demonstrable rather than argumentative: services with no supporting documentation, duplicate charges, and unbundled procedures. Separating injury-related from unrelated treatment is the other major category, since claimants routinely include charges for conditions predating or unconnected to the incident.
