How It Works
Three messages.
A complete audit.
You send a photo. We read every line. You get a breakdown of what is fair and what is not, backed by government data rather than guesswork.
Step by Step
What happens after you message us.
Every audit follows this process. Currently human-reviewed for accuracy. AI engine coming soon.
Send your bill photo on WhatsApp
Tap the WhatsApp button below and send a photo of your hospital bill. That is all we need to get started.
We read every line item
Your bill is carefully parsed. Every procedure, medicine, consumable, room charge, and doctor fee is identified and categorised.
Compare against government benchmarks
Each line item is cross-referenced against five official rate databases. We find the closest match and calculate the gap between what you were charged and what the government says is fair.
Generate your audit report
You receive an item-by-item breakdown showing exactly where you have been overcharged, and by how much.
Produce your dispute letter
A ready-to-use letter addressed to the hospital billing department, citing specific regulations, rate references, and the exact items in dispute. Print it or forward it.
Your Deliverables
Everything you need to challenge your bill.
After the audit, you walk away with a toolkit for getting your money back. Not just information, but the artefacts you can hand over.
Detailed audit breakdown
Item-by-item analysis. Every charge on your bill checked, with clear pass/flag/fail status and the reasoning behind each.
Government rate references
The exact source, notification number, and page reference for each benchmark rate cited. Verifiable and official.
Total overcharge amount
One clear number: the total excess you were charged above government benchmarks. Use it in conversation, in writing, or in court.
Dispute letter
Tailored to your specific bill. Addressed to the hospital. Cites regulations by name. Ready to print, email, or hand over at the billing counter.
Negotiation talking points
What to say, what not to say, and how to frame the conversation. Written for real people having a real conversation at a hospital desk.
Escalation guidance
If the hospital does not cooperate: step-by-step instructions for filing with Consumer Forum, IRDAI (for insurance cases), or your state health authority.
Questions About the Process
Common questions.
How long does the audit take?
Most audits are completed within 2-4 hours during business hours. Complex bills (ICU stays, multi-department surgeries) may take up to 24 hours. We will message you on WhatsApp the moment your report is ready.
What if my bill is handwritten?
We can handle handwritten bills. Just ensure the photo is well-lit and legible. If any item is unclear, we will ask you to confirm it on WhatsApp rather than guess. Typed or printed bills are easier to process, but handwritten works too.
Do you handle insurance bills (cashless or reimbursement)?
Yes. For insurance bills, we check two things: (1) whether the hospital overcharged relative to government benchmarks, and (2) whether items billed to you (deductions, non-payables, co-pay calculations) are legitimate. Send us both the hospital bill and the insurance settlement letter if you have one.
What about old bills? Is there a time limit?
We can audit bills of any age. However, for dispute purposes, the Consumer Protection Act allows complaints within 2 years of the date of service. Older bills can still be audited for your records, but negotiation leverage decreases with time.
Is my health data safe?
We are DPDP Act 2023 compliant. Your bill images are encrypted, processed on Indian infrastructure, and automatically deleted after the audit is delivered. We never share your data with third parties. You can request deletion of all your data at any time.
What does it cost?
During launch, BillOkay is not charging anything. Every bill is personally reviewed by our team, one-on-one via WhatsApp. We are building this to help families first. Pricing will be announced later.
What if no overcharges are found?
Then you get peace of mind. We will tell you your bill looks fair relative to government benchmarks. No pressure, no upsell. You still receive a summary of what we checked and why it passed.
Ready to find out if your bill is fair?
Send your hospital bill on WhatsApp. You will hear back with a full audit, typically within hours.
