• EOB:
It is defined as Explanation of Benefits. This contains the claim details, the amount paid by the insurance, Co-pay / Co-insurance amount and write-off amount. It also contains the patient name, patient address, patient account number, SSN, insurance name, insurance address, insurance contact numbers and it’s customer care numbers (if any). If insurance does not pay the claim then the reason for which the claim was not paid i.e. the denial reason is also mentioned in EOB. In simple words it can be defined as the detailed explanation of the benefits provided by the insurance for the claim. Some insurance like Medicare have their own format of EOB.
For Example:-
EOMB (Explanation of Medicare Benefits) contains a statement detailing the amount of benefits paid or denied for services under the Medicare program.
