## What is Barley?

Your Medicare bill might have errors — and they could be costing you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Barley checks your Medicare bills, statements, and denial letters for overcharges, mistakes, and wrongful denials, then shows you exactly how to dispute them. Checking your bill is free, and you don't need an account or a credit card.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Snap a photo or upload your bill, Explanation of Benefits (EOB), or Medicare Summary Notice (MSN).
2. Barley analyzes it and flags likely errors — line by line.
3. Get clear, step-by-step guidance to dispute charges and appeal denials, with the proof you need.

WHAT BARLEY CATCHES
• Phantom charges for services you never received
• Duplicate charges and wrong billing codes
• "Observation status" traps that can cost tens of thousands
• Charges for services Medicare already paid (your bill vs. MSN/EOB)
• Wrongful denials — and how to appeal them
• QMB billing violations (when you shouldn't be billed at all)
• Part D and pharmacy overcharges
• Surprise and balance billing
…and 30+ Medicare billing scenarios in all.

WORKS WITH YOUR COVERAGE
Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, and Part D.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your documents are yours. We use them only to analyze your bills. We never sell your data and never share it with advertisers.

WHY IT MATTERS
• About 1 in 5 bills have an error worth disputing — and most are never checked.
• 81% of appealed Medicare Advantage denials are overturned — yet fewer than 1 in 8 are ever challenged.
• If there's an error, you may have as little as 120 days to challenge it — don't let the deadline pass.

Checking your bill is free.
