Explanation of Medicare Benefits

A report produced by Medicare explaining reimbursement, denial, and/or patient liability. This information should be available on the MECA/MEDA system or the DDE system. If this information is not posted and available online, the follow-up representative may need to pull physical copy of the EOMB to determine patient liability, appropriate contractual allowance, and remaining balance due, if any (see RA).
