Explain an Explanation of Benefits line by line, and why it isn’t a bill

That envelope from your insurer says “THIS IS NOT A BILL” and then lists a scary number anyway. KFF found 36% of insured adults struggle to understand what their insurance will cover, and plenty of people mix up the EOB and the actual bill. Make a friendly explainer that walks through a real-looking EOB and shows how to match it against the provider’s bill.
