EOB is a 4-Letter Word

The tally is in. We now know how many EOBs sweet Janie was responsible for generating in 2011. If you don't know, an EOB is an Explanation of Benefits that comes from the insurance company when a provider files a claim based on services provided. Some EOBs have a single service noted, while others may list out several services provided at at once or over the course of several treatments.

I figure we might as well have a little fun with this. Therefore, if you'd like to take a guess at the final sum, please leave an educated estimate by leaving a comment below. I've got a prize for the winner. You'll love it. I'll post the answer in a week or so.

There's a bit of challenge here in that even if you how many doctors saw her last year and how many times each visited with her, you still might struggle to be accurate because you don't know how things were lumped together on each respective EOB.

Have Fun!!
