Medical bill
English

In plain English

This is a bill from your March 12 ER visit. Insurance already covered most of it — but the hospital is asking you for $1,842.60 by April 30. $412 of that was never actually sent to your insurance, so you'd be paying money you probably don't owe. Call them first, then pay the rest.

The key facts
You owe
$1,842.60
Pay by
April 30, 2026
Safe to pay now
$1,430.60
Dispute first
$412.00
Watch out for
  • $412 (code 99284) was never billed to your insurance — don't pay this part yet.
  • A $35 late fee kicks in on May 1, plus 1.5% monthly interest after that.
  • The letter mentions collections after 90 days — you have time, but don't ignore it.
What to do next
  1. 1Call the billing number and say: “Please re-submit CPT 99284 to my insurance before I pay.”
  2. 2Pay the undisputed $1,430.60 by April 30 so no late fee hits.
  3. 3If insurance still denies it, ask for the financial assistance or self-pay discount form.
  4. 4Save your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) — you'll need it if this goes to collections.
Jargon, decoded
Patient responsibility
The part your insurance decided you owe — not always final.
CPT 99284
The code for a moderately serious ER visit. Insurance uses it to decide payment.
EOB
Explanation of Benefits — your insurer's letter showing what they paid and why.
