New Hampshire itemized bills for medical services

New Hampshire directs medical-service providers who receive payment from a third party, including licensed hospitals, to provide the patient an itemized statement of services, dates, and costs within thirty days, or to send a non-itemized bill only if it states in large, easily readable print that an itemized bill will be submitted free of charge on request.

Kung ano ang maaari ninyong gawin: A patient who receives a non-itemized bill can request an itemized statement free of charge and review the listed services, dates, and costs for errors.
