Abstract: A system for validation of healthcare provider bills includes obtaining an image of the bill on a mobile device which uses optical character recognition to resolve the patient identity, provider identity and amount due as alphanumeric characters. The system also receives adjudicated claims data from insurance companies in a non-standardized format. A claims conversion server converts the adjudicated claims data to a standardized machine-readable format. The standardized adjudicated claims data and provider bill are validated against each other in real-time so the patient can make payment in an accurate amount without having to first receive and decipher an EOB form.

Abstract: A system for validation of healthcare provider bills includes obtaining an image of the bill on a mobile device which uses optical character recognition to resolve the patient, provider and amount due as alphanumeric characters. This collection of data is cross-referenced against an explanation of benefits (EOB) generated by a third-party administrator which relays the portion of the healthcare provider bill covered by insurance versus what is the patient's responsibility. The EOB and provider bill are validated against each other so the patient can make payment in an accurate amount.
