• the date you received medical care
• where the service took place
• what services were provided to you
• the names of who provided the services
• what tests or additional services were ordered by the providers

You should be suspicious if the provider tells you that...

• the test is free; they only need your insurance number for their records
• they know how to get your insurance to pay for it
• the more tests they provide the cheaper they are
• the equipment or service is free; it won't cost you anything
• they advertise "free" consultations in exchange for your insurance information
• they use telemarketing and door-to-door selling as marketing tools
