What is an Explanation of Benefits (EOB)?

An EOB is a statement from your health insurance company detailing how they processed a healthcare provider’s claim. It shows the services provided, the billed amount, any insurance discounts, what the insurer paid, and your financial responsibility (e.g., copay, coinsurance, or deductible). It’s not a bill but a tool to understand your coverage.

Why do EOBs different insurance companies have different EOBs?

There’s no industry standard for EOBs, so each insurer designs them differently. While the core information (services, charges, payments, and your responsibility) is similar, the layout and terminology vary, which can make them confusing to read.

What is an insurance write-off, and why does it matter?

An insurance write-off is the discount an in-network provider must apply to their billed amount, as negotiated with the insurer. For example, a $200 charge with a $40 write-off results in a $160 allowable charge. This ensures you and the insurer only pay the reduced rate, protecting you from overbilling.
