You should compare both the itemized bill from the hospital and your insurance EOB. If you went to a hospital that is in your insurance network, the hospital bill should match the insurance EOB’s “amount you owe”. If there are some things that are not be covered by insurance, you can still try to get the hospital to charge you for the “network fee” and not their overinflated fee.
