Free, private duplicate-charge check for medical bills
Why is your hospital bill so high? Check it for duplicate charges before you pay.
A big bill doesn't always mean something's wrong — but hospitals and providers do sometimes bill the same service twice by mistake. Aequo reviews your itemized medical bill for exact repeated charges, right in your browser, in seconds.
Free. No account required. Your document stays on your device.
CMS recommends reviewing every medical bill for errors, including services billed more than once — that's exactly what Aequo checks for.

A payment statement or Explanation of Benefits (EOB) usually shows a total, not a line-by-line breakdown — and that line-by-line detail is exactly what makes it possible to check for duplicate charges. Follow the step-by-step guide to request a complete itemized bill from your healthcare provider.

Aequo checks for repeated charges
On supported bills, this quick hospital bill review checks for potential duplicate or repeated charge lines — entirely on your device.
Every check ends in a plain-language result: a possible repeated charge worth asking about, no exact repeats in the lines Aequo could compare, or a note that it can't yet review that particular document — never a confirmed error, a score, or a savings estimate.
What Aequo is — and isn't
Aequo checks supported itemized medical bills for potential duplicate or repeated charge lines. It's one narrow, automated check — not a complete review of your bill.
A duplicate or repeated charge means the same service — same date, same billing code, same amount — appears more than once. It can happen from a billing-system error, a correction that was never removed, or a simple mistake, and it's easy to miss on a long, itemized bill. That's the one specific pattern Aequo looks for.
- Aequo is an automated screening tool, not a person or a professional service.
- It can surface possible repeated-charge candidates on supported bills — nothing more.
- A candidate is not a confirmed billing error.
- It does not provide medical, legal, insurance, or financial advice.
- It does not replace review by your provider, your insurer, or a qualified professional.
- An unsupported or inconclusive result does not mean your bill has no other problems, or that no repetition exists.
