How Emry Health Reduced an Employee’s $88K Medical Bill to Just $794

Uncovering a Billing Oversight: How Emry Health Helped an Employee Avoid Costly Medical Debt

Situation

An employee recovering from ankle surgery reached out to Emry’s comprehensive bill review services, concerned after receiving a statement of benefits (EOB) and a subsequent hospital bill for $88,000. This unexpected financial obligation had left the patient facing substantial medical debt.

Service Provided

Emry confirmed the patient’s injury was personal and not work-related, ruling out a workers’ compensation claim. Upon investigation, Emry identified a billing discrepancy caused by a missing Accident Claim form, which had not been provided during the hospital stay. Through persistent communication with both the hospital and the insurance company, Emry leveraged its Bill Negotiation services to ensure the patient’s bill was accurate and appropriately adjusted.

Outcomes

Emry’s proactive intervention and identification of a procedural oversight, resulted in a major alleviation of financial burden for the member. Through meticulous examination and negotiation, Emry managed to reduce the initial $88,000 out-of-pocket expense to $794.
