Your first resource is to check your explanation of benefits (EOB) statements from the prior year to see what your provider’s discounted rates are. You can view online tools on your carriers’ websites to view those statements and to search for the consumer cost of healthcare services prior to receiving care (you must register on these sites to access the costs). You can also call the respective carrier and ask them what the provider cost is for the services you seek.
