Ask-a-Doc:
What is an E.O.B.?

Hello, I’m Dr. Zachary Byrd. 

An EOB is an explanation of benefits, and it’s actually from your insurance provider. It’s not a bill. A lot of people think that it’s a bill. 

There are a lot of numbers and dollar signs on there. But really, the explanation of benefits is more of a description of how the claim that you’re making with us is being processed. 

So, it’s nothing you have to pay, but it may be a preview of what you might owe someone at the time of your surgery— someone being any of the different providers involved.
