Health Insurance and Claim Processing

Health Insurance and Claim Processing: What Every Patient Needs to Know is a clear, practical guide designed to help patients understand the often-confusing world of health insurance, medical billing, and claims processing. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in medical billing, coding, compliance, and patient advocacy, Sadhana R. Kamat explains how to choose the right insurance plan, understand deductibles and out-of-pocket costs, read an Explanation of Benefits (E.O.B.), identify common billing issues, and take the right steps when claims are denied. Written in plain language and built around real-life examples, this book empowers readers to make informed healthcare decisions, protect themselves from costly mistakes, and navigate the U.S. insurance system with greater clarity and confidence.
