Correcting Line Items on Your Bill
Why You Might Need to Correct Line Items
When reKUPR extracts data from your uploaded bill, the results are usually accurate — but not always perfect. OCR (optical character recognition) can occasionally misread a number, pull the wrong billing code, or miss a piece of information entirely. When that happens, you can correct line items directly without re-uploading your document.
Where to Find Inline Editing
Navigate to the Financials tab of your bill analysis. Each extracted line item is displayed in an editable format. Click or tap on any field to make changes.
What Fields Can Be Edited
You can correct the following fields on each line item:
- Description — The name or label of the service or charge
- Billed Amount — The amount the provider charged
- Allowed Amount — The negotiated rate your insurance considers payable
- Insurance Paid — The portion your insurance covered
- Patient Responsibility — The amount you are expected to pay
- CPT/HCPCS Code — The procedure code associated with the service
- Diagnosis Code — The ICD-10 code linked to the line item
How Corrections Trigger Re-Analysis
After making your edits, click the "Save & Re-analyze" button. reKUPR will:
- Save your corrections to the bill record
- Re-run the full analysis using the updated data
- Generate new findings based on the corrected line items
- Update all related sections including Simple Terms, Financials, and any flagged issues
This means a single correction — like fixing a misread CPT code — can change the entire outcome of your analysis.
When to Use Line Item Corrections
- OCR misread a number — For example, $1,200 was extracted as $12,00
- Wrong code extracted — A CPT or diagnosis code doesn't match what you see on the paper bill
- Missing information — A field was left blank that you can fill in from your original document
- Incorrect description — The service description doesn't match what was actually performed
Your Original Data Is Preserved
Corrections enhance your analysis without destroying the original extraction. reKUPR keeps a record of the originally extracted data, so you can always see what was initially pulled from your document. Your edits layer on top, giving you the most accurate analysis possible while maintaining a complete audit trail.
Tips for Effective Corrections
- Compare to your paper bill — Have your original document handy when making edits
- Fix codes first — Correcting a CPT or diagnosis code often has the biggest impact on findings
- Review after re-analysis — Check the updated results to confirm the corrections improved accuracy
- One round is usually enough — Most bills only need a few corrections to achieve a thorough analysis
