PatientStand example case

One visit. Five bills. One case.

One hospital visit. Then the bills start arriving. Five separate companies, from the same visit.

Illustrative example, built on sample bills.

The bills

Five companies. Five account numbers. Five balances. One visit.

Example bill: the hospital facility statement from the visit.
Example bill: the emergency physician statement from the visit.
Example bill: the radiology statement from the visit.
Example bill: the pathology statement from the visit.
Example bill: the anesthesia statement from the visit.

What didn’t add up

Each bill makes sense only as one piece of the visit. Together: $10,762.59 charged, $1,775.08 left to you.

Before paying five separate amounts, we’d want to see the whole visit at once.

What Patient Stand checked

We put the whole visit together and checked it as one episode.

  • Is each service billed once across the five?
  • Was insurance applied to every bill?
  • Do the physician bills match the hospital’s record?
  • Does what each bill says you owe match what your insurance says?

What we prepared

Five bills went in. One clear case came back. Three reconciled. Two flagged.

The five bills from the visit, reconciled into one case.

The emergency physician bill to check against the EOB. The anesthesia bill to confirm its network status.

What you don’t have to do

Match five bills, trace insurance across them, or keep five problems alive in your head.

We hold the whole visit as one case.

What happens next

You review the case and the two flagged bills. We prepare what needs sending and tell you where it goes. You send it. When a reply comes, we read it with you, through 30 days of included support.

Why this matters

One hospital visit shouldn’t become five billing puzzles. Instead of five bills to figure out, you have one case and a clear next step.

Have bills from one visit stacking up?
