Upload Your Bill or Enter the 5-Digit Codes on Your Bill
Choose Option A to upload a photo/PDF of your bill or Explanation of Benefits (EOB) and let Argos read it for you, or Option B to type your 5-digit codes below.
Code or CPT with 5 numbers (like 99285 for an ER visit or 80053 for blood work).
Copy and paste this into your provider's or hospital's online message center (like MyChart) or read it over the phone:
"Hello, I am requesting a free itemized bill that shows the 5-digit procedure code and exact dollar charge for every item on my account, and I ask that you put a 30-day hold on my bill until you send it."

Where Did This Medical Bill Come From?
Why Argos asks this: Hospitals and doctor offices use two completely different government price lists, and your state determines which patient-protection laws protect you from overcharges.
How Are You Paying This Bill?
Why Argos asks this: The legal rules that lower your bill depend on whether you are using health insurance, paying out of pocket, fighting a surprise out-of-network bill, or asking for a refund on a bill you already paid.
What is an EOB? It is the summary page from your insurance company that says "THIS IS NOT A BILL" at the top and shows what your insurance says you owe. (Skip this if you don't have it handy.)
Did This Bill Include an Emergency Room Visit?
Why Argos asks this: Emergency room visits are billed on a scale from Level 1 (minor) to Level 5 (life-threatening emergency, code 99285). Hospitals frequently bill routine walk-in visits as a Level 4 or Level 5 — if you select "Yes," Argos checks whether your visit level was inflated.
Check If You Qualify for a Hospital Income Discount?
Nearly 4 out of 5 hospitals are nonprofits that must discount or forgive bills for qualifying families, even if you have insurance. This is completely optional — we never save your income, or you can click "Skip Income Check" below.
