An Explanation of Benefits, or EOB, is a statement from your insurance company explaining how a submitted dental claim was processed.
An EOB may show the service submitted, amount charged, amount recognized by the plan, insurance benefit, and amount assigned to the patient. The exact format varies by carrier.
An EOB is not necessarily a bill from your dental office. It primarily explains how the insurance company processed a claim.
If something does not look correct, review the statement carefully. Contact your insurance company with questions about claim processing, while your dental office can provide information about the services submitted.
Keeping your EOBs can also help you track your dental benefits throughout the year.
