Abstract
Estimate of benefits (EOB) data and healthcare billing data are provided in a single user interface. By providing a display of billing information and EOB information on a same screen, a patient may be enabled to better understand his payment responsibility compared to an amount owed to a healthcare provider. When a patient logs into a healthcare billing account, healthcare billing data may be provided, as well as input fields for entering EOB data. When EOB data is received, the billing data received from the healthcare provider billing system and the EOB data may be displayed in the single user interface. If a total of entered EOB amounts does not equal a total amount owed to the healthcare provider, a notification may be provided.
