misbilling
Charging the wrong amount
Misbilling is charging incorrectly—whether by error or intent.
The term appears most often in healthcare and legal contexts, where billing fraud is a serious concern: The audit uncovered years of misbilling by the clinic.
To misbill is to issue such charges: The company misbilled customers for services never rendered.
