Tell me the difference between a medical bill and an EOB.

"I've had to break this down for a lot of people. A bill is an invoice of what you owe. An EOB is an explanation of benefits and a statement reflecting the various charges from a medical visit that are broken down according to the structure and tiers of your particular insurance plan. It includes the date of your medical visit, what was billed to the insurance, what they paid, what you paid at the time of the visit, and what you will owe. It is not a bill, but rather a breakdown and an explanation of your insurance benefits as it pertains to a medical visit."
