medical bill
Healthcare payment request
A medical bill is an itemized statement of charges for healthcare services—doctor visits, hospital stays, procedures, medications.
In American English especially, medical bills often appear in discussions of financial hardship: Medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy in the U.S.
The term implies not just a record of services but a demand for payment, frequently arriving after insurance has (or hasn't) covered its portion.
