About VerifyDoc

Last updated: July 29, 2026

VerifyDoc is an AI medical bill auditor. You upload a hospital or provider bill — as an image, a PDF, or pasted text — and it reviews the charges line by line, decodes the billing and procedure codes into plain English, flags line items that may be billing errors, and drafts dispute letters for the items it flags.

This page exists so you can judge whether to trust that output. It says who runs the site, exactly what the tool does and does not do, where the price benchmarks in our free tools come from, how our guides are written, and how to reach a person.

Governing law

Our Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States.

Independence

VerifyDoc is not affiliated with any hospital, insurance company, or government agency.

VerifyDoc is a small independent operation, not a medical practice, a law firm, a licensed billing company, or a patient-advocacy nonprofit. Nobody on this site is presented as a licensed medical coder, physician, or attorney, because nobody here is one. If a guide or an audit result matters to a decision you are about to make, treat it as a starting point for a conversation with your provider, your insurer, or a qualified billing advocate — not as a substitute for one.

What the AI does — and what it does not do

In more detail:

What it does

• Reads the bill you submit and lists what it can identify as separate charges.
• Explains what the billing and procedure codes on those lines generally mean, in plain English.
• Flags line items that may be errors — duplicates, upcoding, unbundling, charges for services not received, and arithmetic that does not reconcile.
• Drafts a dispute letter for each flagged item that you can edit, sign, and send yourself.

What it does not do

• It does not confirm that a flagged charge is actually wrong. A flag is a prompt to check the line against your own medical records and your Explanation of Benefits. It is not a finding of error or fraud.
• It does not certify that unflagged charges are correct. The absence of a flag is not a clean bill of health.
• It does not query your insurer, your provider, or any external pricing database during the audit. The analysis reflects only what the AI model infers from the document you submitted.
• It does not give medical, legal, or financial advice, and it does not guarantee any savings, refund, bill reduction, or other outcome.
• It does not negotiate for you or contact a hospital on your behalf. You send the letters.

The bill you submit is analysed using Anthropic's Claude API. Per Anthropic's commercial terms, inputs submitted via the API are not used to train their models. Our Privacy Policy sets out what is stored, for how long, and how to have it deleted.

Where the price benchmarks in our free tools come from

Our free Medical Overcharge Estimator compares what you were billed against a typical national fair-price range for each procedure. Those ranges are composites assembled from three categories of published benchmark data:

• Medicare fee schedules — the published amounts Medicare allows for a given procedure code.
• Cash-price surveys — published surveys of what facilities charge self-pay patients.
• Hospital price-transparency filings — the machine-readable standard-charge files hospitals publish under the federal price-transparency rule at 45 CFR Part 180.

Three limits on those numbers, stated plainly:

• They are deliberately conservative national averages. Real prices vary substantially by region, facility type, and payer. A charge above our range is not proof of an overcharge; a charge inside it is not proof of a fair price.
• They are a static table baked into the page, not a live price lookup. The estimator does not query a pricing API when you use it.
• They are not tied to a single dated published dataset. We are working on replacing them with per-procedure figures each carrying a named source and a release date, and we will publish that provenance here when we do.

If you need a figure you can cite in a dispute, do not cite ours. Use the specific hospital's own published standard-charge file — the guide on how to find and read a hospital's machine-readable price file explains how — or the published Medicare allowed amount for the code in question. A number from the hospital's own filing is far harder for a billing office to wave away than a national average.

How our guides are written and reviewed

The guides in our blog are published by VerifyDoc as an organization. We do not put an individual byline or a fabricated author bio on them, and we do not claim an editorial board.

The rules we hold ourselves to:

• Primary sources, cited inline. When a guide states a federal rule, it cites the section — for example 45 CFR § 149.110 for the No Surprises Act's emergency-services protection, or 45 CFR § 180.50 for hospital standard-charge disclosure — so you can read the rule yourself rather than take our word for it.
• A fixed list of source organizations for statistics. Figures are drawn from CMS, HHS-OIG, the CFPB, KFF and the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker, the Commonwealth Fund, GAO, the AMA, the Federal Register, and peer-reviewed journals including JAMA Network and Health Affairs.
• A visible review date. Every guide carries a "Last reviewed" date at the foot of the article. Rules change; a date lets you judge how stale a page might be.
• No invented specifics. We do not publish a statute number, a procedure code, or a price benchmark we could not trace to a source.

Two things we want to be equally clear about, because a trust page that only lists strengths is not a trust page:

• Our guides are AI-assisted. Drafts are produced with a large language model working from a fixed brief and the source constraints above, then published under the VerifyDoc name. They are not individually reviewed by a licensed medical coder, a certified professional biller, or an attorney before publication.
• Federal and state billing rules move. A guide that was accurate on its review date can be overtaken by a new rule, a court decision, or a vacated regulation. Check the review date, and check the underlying citation, before you rely on anything here.

Corrections

If you find something on this site that is wrong — a mis-stated rule, a dead or mis-numbered citation, a benchmark that does not match reality, or an audit result that misread your bill — email support@verifydoc.net. Tell us the page URL and what specifically is wrong. We will correct the page or take it down, and we will update its review date when we do.

This is the same address for refund requests (see our Refund Policy), privacy and data-deletion requests (see our Privacy Policy), and everything else. There is no phone queue and no chatbot in front of it.
