Explanation of Benefits (EOB)
Definition
A document from your insurance company explaining what medical services were billed, what they paid, and what you owe. It is not a bill — it's a summary of how your claim was processed.
Why It Matters
EOBs are the most confusing document in healthcare. Understanding your EOB helps you catch billing errors (which occur in up to 80% of medical bills) and understand your financial responsibility before a bill arrives.
In Your Records
Tabula Medica imports your EOBs and translates them into plain language. The AI breaks down what was billed, what insurance covered, and what you actually owe — with flags for potential errors.
FHIR Resource Type
This data appears in your records as a FHIR ExplanationOfBenefit resource. Tabula Medica standardizes this across all connected providers so your Explanation of Benefits data is always comparable.
