Which of the following information is included in an Explanation of Benefits (EOB)?

An Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is a document provided by an insurance company to explain the details of a claim that has been processed. Among the critical pieces of information included in an EOB are the claim adjustments. This section outlines any modifications made to the payment for the claim, detailing what portion will be covered by the insurance, what the patient may owe, and any discounts or adjustments that have been applied.

These adjustments can result from various factors, such as negotiations between the provider and the insurance company, contracted rates for services, or any denied charges. Therefore, understanding the claim adjustments is essential for both healthcare providers and patients to grasp the financial aspects of their care.

While the NPI number, Employer ID, and remaining deductible are pertinent to billing and insurance processes, they do not specifically embody the financial adjustments related to a claim as comprehensively as the claim adjustments do.
