In 30 years of analyzing medical bills for errors, Pat Palmer has seen some jaw-dropping mistakes: Medications and devices marked up 100 percent to 300 percent; a Illinois hospital that charged a man $186,000 for 200 heart valves; a bill sent to new parents for a circumcision — of their baby girl.

Palmer, a patient advocate and author of The Medical Bill Survivor Guide, estimates that she finds an error on about 9 out of every 10 hospital bills she examines and about 7 of every 10 physician bills.
