One key aspect of Jenni's role as a patient advocate is her ability to educate and empower clients to advocate for themselves regarding their medical bills. By providing guidance, support, and expert knowledge in navigating the healthcare billing system, Jenni helps patients understand their rights and options for resolving billing disputes.

Medical bills can be a source of confusion and frustration for many patients. Estimates show that between 30 and 80% of medical bills contain errors, and patients must take a proactive approach to reviewing and understanding their bills. One way to ensure accuracy and fairness in medical billing is to match the bill with the insurance company's Explanation of Benefits (EOB).

Matching medical bills with the EOB ensures transparency, accuracy, and fairness in healthcare billing. Patients who review and understand their bills can avoid unnecessary costs, identify billing errors, and advocate for their rights as healthcare consumers. Patient advocates play a vital role in guiding patients through this process and advocating for their best interests in the complex world of medical billing.
