are you someone who's gotten a medical bill in the mail and you just can't make heads or tail of it and you just want someone to explain some of it like at least the basics so you have an understanding of what the heck they're talking about so today i'm going to explain the basics of the medical bill and then how you can find more information about why some of those procedures might not have been paid hey everyone i'm victoria i'm a medical coder auditor educator and content creator and on my channel i provide tips tricks and tutorials on medical coding but today i want to talk about medical bills and how you can get a basic understanding of your medical bill so the best way to do this is to actually walk through a couple of medical bills now i just want to say i have not obtained these from any current or past employers i have blurred out all of the private information but they were obtained with permission so let's just get into it and i can show you some of the things that you might want to look out for when you're just kind of reviewing your own medical bills so the first thing you're going to see here on that top line is how much this total was so this was the total charge that was sent to the insurance so this provider billed 576 dollars to the insurance and they adjusted off a good amount of it 289 dollars and 32 cents so that insurance payment is basically saying you know the provider billed you this much but we have a contract with you we're only going to pay you a portion of that so we have this contract and we've agreed that we're only going to pay a certain amount for types of services and you're going to adjust off the rest the patient responsibility total is 25 and then there's that balance due of 25. so the first thing you'll see here is this immunization so the patient was due for their flu shot it's flu season this is something that commonly if you go in for any kind of service from those dates where a flu are rampant they're going to ask you to get a flu shot with the flu shot there's actually two charges so there's one for them actually administering it so giving you the injection and the second is for the solution the actual drug that they're there of the flu vaccine so you may see that there's two charges there for one kind of service but they're really two different components of the same service the administering it and for the actual drug itself those codes that you see in the column there those are the cpt codes they're codes for different types of procedures so instead of having to send a huge note or summary or record to the insurance company...
