What kind of bills and statements can I expect to see after my surgery?

After your surgery, you will receive a statement called an “Explanation of Benefits” (EOB), which simply itemizes the fees charged and the allowable amount covered by your insurance company. After receiving the EOB, you may subsequently receive bills from four entities: surgeon, facility, anesthesia, and pathology. Consistent with the EOB, these bills will show the amounts you are responsible for, as determined by your particular PPO insurance policy.
