The EOB (Explanation of Benefits) is what explains Medicare's payments and denials. Sometimes it is referred to as an EOP (Explanation of Payment). This document will show all items filed on a particular claim for a particular provider. It will show which items were covered or noncovered and why, which items were denied and why, and which items were paid. It will also show the patient's responsibility as far as deductible and coinsurance goes. If the patient has a Medicare supplement or just a secondary plan and Medicare is aware who you have chosen, they will "crossover" the claim to the secondary. This means they will automatically send a notification to the secondary payor to let them know how much Medicare allowed (the total amount the provider should receive from Medicare, other insurance companies and the patient), and how much is being left to the patient/secondary.

When a remittance advice (RA) is received from Medicare, the insurance billing specialist should first review the document to verify the payments made, adjustments, and any denials. They should ensure that the billed services match the payments and codes listed in the RA. Any discrepancies should be investigated and resolved by contacting Medicare or adjusting the billing records as necessary. Finally, the specialist should update the patient’s account to reflect the payments and adjustments noted in the RA.
The document that outlines the expenses paid after submission to Medicare and is sent to the physician's office is called the Remittance Advice (RA) or Explanation of Benefits (EOB). This document details the services billed, the amounts approved by Medicare, any patient responsibility, and reasons for any denials or reductions in payment. It serves as a crucial communication tool between Medicare, providers, and patients.
