About BillBusted

The plain-English second opinion on your medical bill.

BillBusted is an AI-assisted medical bill review service for U.S. patients. We help you spot possible errors, duplicate charges, coding issues, and the right questions to raise on medical bills, Explanation of Benefits documents, and good faith estimates — before you pay.

What BillBusted is

An AI medical bill review service, built for one job.

BillBusted reads your uploaded medical bill the way a careful, well-informed family member would. The AI extracts every line item (CPT codes, charges, dates, units, modifiers) and checks them against the eight most common medical-billing error patterns: duplicate charges, upcoding, unbundling, modifier errors, units of service overstated, NDC code errors, diagnosis-procedure mismatches, and missing itemization.

You get a plain-English report flagging possible errors and the specific questions to raise with your provider or insurer. Up to 49% of medical bills contain at least one error (CFPB, 2023). About 73.7% of patients who actually dispute a medical bill receive a correction (JAMA Health Forum, 2024). The point of BillBusted is to make starting that dispute easy.

What BillBusted is not

The honest boundaries.

BillBusted is not a law firm, insurance company, medical provider, financial advisor, or HIPAA-covered entity. We do not provide legal, medical, insurance, or financial advice. We do not guarantee savings, debt cancellation, dispute success, or any specific outcome.

We are informational support drawn from authoritative public sources (CFPB, JAMA Health Forum, AARP, CMS) and pointed at the right authority when a case calls for professional help. When a clinician, attorney, state insurance department, or federal agency is the right next step, our reports say so explicitly.

How we work

Four principles, applied to every page on this site.

Principle
What it means in practice
Defensible stats only
Every number on BillBusted comes from CFPB, JAMA Health Forum, AARP, or CMS. We never use "80% of bills have errors" or "$1,900 average overcharge" — those are unverifiable lobbying claims.
Inform, don't scare
Not every bill is wrong. A free scan that says "this looks fine" is a win. We never push paid tiers on a clean bill.
Trust before revenue
Free-scan documents are processed in memory and not retained. Paid orders are encrypted at rest. We never sell or share data with advertisers. Refunds are available for duplicate charges, failed processing, or technical issues.
Stay in our lane
BillBusted is not legal, medical, or insurance advice. When a case requires a clinician, attorney, state insurance department, or federal agency, we tell you that — and we route you there.

Why BillBusted exists

Most patients are alone with a bill they can't read.

U.S. medical billing is the most adversarial paperwork experience most people face. The patient is given a summary statement they can't audit, an Explanation of Benefits that disagrees with the bill, and a short clock before the account goes to collections.

Up to 49% of medical bills contain at least one error (CFPB, 2023). About 73.7% of patients who actually dispute a medical bill receive a correction (JAMA Health Forum, 2024). The single biggest reason more patients don't dispute is that nobody hands them the words to use. BillBusted exists to hand you the words — and the structure underneath them.
