I received an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from my insurance company. What is this?
a. An EOB is a summary of services being billed to your insurance company by a healthcare provider and an explanation of how your insurance company processed this claim based on your coverage with them.
b. The EOB is not an invoice or a bill. It is simply an explanation of charges for testing you received from Gravity Diagnostics.
c. EOBs can sometimes cause anxiety with patients as they show all charges billed, not just the patient’s responsibility.
d. Do not make any payment to Gravity Diagnostics based on this EOB. Please wait to receive an invoice directly from Gravity Diagnostics for any patient payment responsibility
