No accusations · no guessing · burden of proof, shifted

We don't claim to read minds — or medical records.

We read what's on the bill, flag what doesn't add up, and write the letter that makes them show their work. Here's exactly what fires an upcoding flag:

SIGNAL 1The bill contradicts itself

A level-5 ER code claims life-threatening complexity — but the bill shows one blood panel, no imaging, same-day discharge. The code's own receipts don't back it up. Strongest signal, and it's entirely on the paper you gave us.

SIGNAL 2The code claims the top of the scale

ER visits are coded on a five-level scale, and level 5 is the tier reserved for the most complex, highest-acuity care. The higher the level claimed, the heavier the documentation that has to sit behind it — so a top-of-scale code on a thin bill is where we point the letter.

SIGNAL 3Diagnosis and code disagree

When your bill or EOB carries diagnosis codes, they get checked against the visit level. An ear infection billed as a life-threatening emergency is a mismatch the letter asks them to explain.

SIGNAL 4Thirty seconds of your context

“What happened? How long were you there? Admitted or sent home?” Two intake questions turn a weak flag into a strong one.

THE MOVE
The letter never says “you upcoded.” It says: “Provide the documentation that justifies 99285.” The level must match the record. They may explain it, correct it, reduce it, or stand by it. We don't have to know what happened. You make them show their work.
What we catch · the full battery

What we catch — and the law behind each one.

These four are the most common — not the whole review. Every bill runs the full battery below, and every finding shows the rule or source behind the question.

DUPLICATELooks like the same charge, billed twice
CPT 99285 · ER visit$921.00
CPT 99285 · again, same day$921.00
Your itemization request, in writing — the letter asks them to show both charges, with the times, or take one off.

Coded: LEVEL 5 — life-threatening$1,730
Bill's own items support: LEVEL 3$1,118
CMS coding guidelines — the level must match the documented record. We don't guess at the record; the letter demands it.
UNVERIFIED“Misc” fees with no itemization
Supplies · “misc”$189.00
↳ itemization demanded — what supplies?
Your state itemization right — the letter asks them to name every “misc” charge, line by line.
UNVALIDATEDA collector who hasn't shown proof it's yours
DEMAND: validate this debt in writing
↳ they must verify — or stop collecting
FDCPA §809(b) — after you receive the required validation notice, you generally have 30 days to dispute in writing. A covered collector that receives a timely written dispute must pause collection of the disputed amount until it mails verification.

FORGIVABLE
Charity care

If a hospital sent your bill, you may have another option. Nonprofit hospitals must have a financial-assistance policy under federal law (501(r)). If there is a balance, we prepare your written request. The hospital decides if you qualify — some reduce or forgive the balance.

Why this exists

We didn't build this after a win.
We built it after paying.

No triumphant origin myth. Before BillFighter existed, its founder got a bill, didn't know the rights that applied, and paid it. This product is the letter that should have been sent — built so the next person doesn't need to already know the law to use it.

A LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER

In 2021, I got a bill for my newborn son's surgery. Something about it didn't sit right — but it arrived looking official, and official things get paid.

So I paid it. Not because it was right. Because I didn't know I was allowed to ask whether it was.

Years later I learned what I didn't know then: the itemized bill I never asked for. The validation letter I never sent. The questions I never knew I could ask. The rights existed the whole time — printed in laws nobody hands you in the hallway.

BillFighter is the letter I should have written, built so you don't have to already know the law to use it. Upload the bill. We'll show you what we see and write the letter. You mail it — or, with In Your Corner, we do, certified.

Whatever you win is yours. All of it.

We review every line and flag what looks wrong, what’s missing, and what’s worth asking about — each one matched to the rule or right behind it.

03

You fight it in writing

A dispute letter, written from your bill in about a minute. Mail it yourself, or we send it certified — a paper trail on the record.

The evidence · read it end-to-end

Your letter does the talking.

Written from the exact findings on your bill, and mailed USPS certified — by you, or by us with In Your Corner. The quality of the letter is itself the evidence — so read one.

Re: Account #4471-B — Dispute of billing charges and request for documentation

To Whom It May Concern:

I dispute the accuracy of the charges identified below and request documentation sufficient to explain and substantiate them. I ask that you review the account and correct the following:

1. CPT 99285 appears twice on the statement, same date of service — these entries appear potentially duplicative. Please identify each, or remove the duplicate ($921.00).

2. The “Supplies — misc” line of $189.00 is not itemized; I request a full itemized…

The law is on your side

More rights than they want you to use.

§ FDCPA 1692g

Make them validate

If you dispute in writing during the validation period, a covered debt collector generally must pause collection of the disputed amount until it mails verification.

§ No Surprises Act

Surprise bills

When the No Surprises Act applies, protected out-of-network services are generally limited to in-network cost sharing.

§ Itemization

Every line, in writing

Ask for the itemized bill in writing — CPT codes, dates, every charge. Medicare requires it on request, many states go further, and the request itself starts your paper trail.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is this legal?

Yes — disputing bills and requesting debt validation are federally protected rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and various state consumer protection laws. You have the right to request an itemized bill, dispute errors, and demand debt validation.

Will this hurt my credit?

No — a letter isn't a financial event, and nobody reports it. To be clear about what we are: BillFighter fights the bill, with the biller or the collector. We are not a credit repair service, we don't work on credit reports, and nothing we do is designed to change your score. Credit report questions go straight to the bureaus — your free reports are at AnnualCreditReport.com.

What if they don't respond?

We track your case's follow-up date and your escalation letter is one tap away. On a validation demand, silence works in your favor — a collector that hasn't validated can't lawfully keep collecting.

Do you take a cut of what I win?

Never. You keep 100% of everything you recover. Every price is one-time, per case: Fight Kit $39, In Your Corner $99 founding then $129, extra letters $15, extra certified sends $29. No subscriptions. That’s everything.

What types of bills can I analyze?

Medical bills, collection notices, EOBs, insurance denials, and prior authorization denials.

How accurate is the analysis?

BillFighter reads your bill and points out possible problems. It is careful, but it is not perfect. Read every finding yourself. For a big or complicated case, talk to a consumer rights attorney.

How is this different from hiring an attorney?

Attorneys generally work on contingency, taking a percentage of your recovery. BillFighter never takes a percentage — you keep everything you win. For complex cases, we also connect you with consumer rights attorneys.

Stop paying what you don't owe.
