Determining Medical Expenses
When you are gathering itemized billing statements from the medical providers who treated your clients, you typically request the billing statements from the treating physicians and hospitals. Don't forget to also request billing statements from providers such as the emergency medicine groups, the radiology groups, and the anesthesiology groups. Often times, these physicians are not employed by the hospital and bill separately. If you are having difficulty determining the names of these other groups, ask your client if they can provide you with copies of the Explanation of Benefits statements they received from their health insurance provider. These EOB statements show what medical providers have been paid and often help fill in the blanks.
