What's an EOB? (Hint: Think Insurance Information)
An Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is a summary of claim activity
generated by an insurance company after it receives a claim
for medical services. Listed in the "Remarks" section at the
bottom of each EOB is "Patient Responsibility," the remaining
amount you will owe upon receiving a bill from your medical
provider. An EOB is not a bill, but it is important to keep
EOBs for future reference. If you have a question about an
EOB, contact Principal Insurance at the number listed on the
EOB or Benefits Administration at x48487 or benefits@scripps.edu.
