What Can a Medical Billing Advocate Do For You ?
Terminology and complexity are the rules of today’s healthcare system. Most consumers are not even aware that there may be hidden problems with their bills. When you are busy or not feeling well, you often don’t have the time to do the necessary work to get corrections made. You might not even realize that you are being overcharged!
All kinds of errors are found on medical bills. We see examples of billing more than once for the same service, billing for services or supplies you didn’t receive, using the wrong diagnosis and procedure codes, unwarranted denials by the insurance company, and plain old human error. All of these causes can add up to you, the patient, paying more than you should be for your health care services.

Be a Devil’s Advocate in Your Negotiations
The Roman Catholic Church used the Devil’s Advocate to investigate candidates for sainthood to see if there was anything negative concerning their candidacy. The idea behind the Devil’s Advocate is that if it is someone’s job to do an investigation, any detrimental information will come up as a result of this scrutiny. However, in the 1980’s Pope John Paul II did away with the Devil’s Advocate system, probably as outdated.
Mediators use the Devil’s Advocate as a device to give a reality check to one of the parties and point out the flaws in their arguments. The expression used is usually, “Let me play the Devil’s Advocate.” By saying you are going to play the Devil’s Advocate the Mediator is not his own advocate and, therefore, isolated from criticism.
