See what we actually do
Illustrative examples, built on sample bills. Each shows a problem on the bill, and what we would do about it.
A hand-drawn ring around the two identical Complete blood count charges of $189.00. 
A hand-drawn underline beneath the CT head charge of $3,370.23. PatientStand bill check
A $3,370 scan you don’t remember.
If you don’t recognize a charge, we do the asking. We request the records that should support it and prepare the query, so an unproven charge doesn’t just get paid.

A hand-drawn arrow pointing at the canceled Colonoscopy charge of $2,373.09. PatientStand bill check

A hand-drawn underline beneath the your-responsibility amount of $480.00. PatientStand coverage check

A hand-drawn bracket around the payments received line showing $0.00. PatientStand bill check

A hand-drawn arrow pointing at the collector’s demand of $780.00. PatientStand collector check

Common questions
You send every document yourself, in your own name.
You can see a sample of exactly what you will receive before you buy. Our prices are published, we never ask for a share of your savings or access to your accounts, and your documents are deleted 90 days after your order.
A free tool writes one letter for one bill.
Medical bills rarely come alone. One hospital visit can produce bills from the hospital, the doctors, the imaging center and the lab, and a letter to one of them does nothing about the others. Your file covers the whole episode of care, every document is checked by a person before it reaches you, and when the reply comes back, confusing, partial, or silent, you can ask us what it means and get a written answer within 48 hours. That reply moment is where a free letter leaves you alone. It is exactly where we stay.
Before we deliver your documents, you can cancel for any reason and we refund you in full.
After delivery, if they are not right, tell us and we will redraft them until they are. That is the guarantee. It covers the quality of the documents, never the outcome of your case, because no honest service can guarantee the second.
