Abstract

A system and method for providing healthcare claims assistance whereby a given healthcare service consumer's healthcare services data relating to a given healthcare service item is obtained and is translated into a description of the services in language, and/or a format, that a typical healthcare service consumer can understand. The healthcare service consumer's healthcare services data is also used to present the healthcare service consumer with a payment calculation display and an explanation of how the healthcare service consumer's portion of the claim amount was calculated. The healthcare services consumer is then provided advice on who to contact and/or how to proceed to resolve any perceived errors and/or obtain more detailed information.
