What it means
An itemized medical bill lists every charge for a healthcare encounter individually — each procedure, medication, supply, and service with its corresponding billing code (CPT or HCPCS code) and charge amount. Patients have the right to request an itemized bill from any provider. Reviewing itemized bills is important for identifying billing errors, duplicate charges, or services never received. Common billing errors include upcoding (billing for more complex services than provided) and unbundling (billing procedure components separately instead of as a package).
