hospital bill

Healthcare payment statement

A hospital bill is an itemized statement of charges for medical services, supplies, and room fees incurred during a hospital stay or visit.

Hospital bills are notoriously complex and difficult to decipher, often arriving weeks after treatment: The hospital bill came to forty thousand dollars before insurance.

In American English especially, hospital bills figure prominently in discussions of healthcare costs and medical debt.
