We give you the guidance and tools to dispute problem medical bills...

at a low price you can afford

Tens of millions of patients each year in the U.S. receive medical bills for services for which they didn't know they would receive or be charged, and at prices to which they never agreed.  To make things worse, the prices charged under these medical bills can easily be five to ten times of the provider's actual cost to render the service, and of what the provider has agreed to accept for the same services under Medicare or other programs.


Many patients ignore problem medical bills, assuming their insurance will fix them, or because they don't know what to do to address the problems themselves.  This can lead to patients ultimately paying bills they never should have received, or households burdened with medical debt they never should have owed.



That's where Patient Fairness comes in.


Patient Fairness will assess your problem medical bill to determine if you were able to make an informed decision about receiving and paying for the services.  We compare the prices charged on your medical bill to prices Medicare pays for the same services, and how those medical bill prices compare to the provider's cost to render the service.*  Patient Fairness further guides you how to use this information with our tools to raise concerns with the billing provider, and ultimately to dispute the bill so you are treated fairly as a consumer.  We will even help you craft letters to the billing provider to question, dispute, and/or offer to settle a medical bill, which we will mail on your behalf and track the billing provider's response.


Patient Fairness's web-based model allows patients to challenge problem medical bills themselves at a fraction of cost to use a billing advocate or attorney.


*Comparison to provider costs is for hospitals.

FAST ACTION

Address a problem bill as soon as it arrives - then you can go on the offensive in challenging a bill, rather than ignoring or paying it.

STRATEGIES

While medical providers know the ins and outs of medical billing, patients usually know practically nothing. 


Patient Fairness gives patients insights to understand how a medical bill may be unfair, a game plan to fight those bills, and then the tools and  assistance to implement that game plan to lower or eliminate the bill.

Patient Fairness is here to help you get fair treatment in the billing of and payment for medical services.  Patients are equal parties to the health providers in medical care transactions, so we always keep you in charge of defining success in resolving a problem medical bill.

Patient Fairness helps patients confront problem medical bills themselves  through online resources and tools,  charging low, flat fees. 

Facing problem medical bills alone is daunting.

    The first step is to complete the Problem Medical Bill Assessment, with no commitment to pay Patient Fairness.  From the Assessment, Patient Fairness will identify any questions or concerns to raise to the Billing Provider that may be cause to reduce or eliminate what you owe.  We will also inform you if the medical bill may be subject to the No Surprises Act, should you wish to file a complaint under the No Surprises Act.

  • Is there really a point in challenging a problem medical bill?

    Yes.  Patients are consumers, and they have rights and expectations to be treated fairly by physicians, hospitals and other medical providers.  Further, new laws such as the No Surprises Act now more formally recognize patients’ rights to fight unfair medical bills.
