What Is an InstaMed Charge on Your Bank Statement?
InstaMed is a healthcare bill-payment platform, not the provider itself. Match the payment with the healthcare provider and its statement or portal.

Find the healthcare provider first
Patients may pay through a health plan’s website or directly at pay.instamed.com. The consumer bill-pay flow lets a patient search for a healthcare provider and pay a paper-statement balance.

Use the provider-specific statement fields
Have the paper or electronic provider statement available. Live provider forms at pay.instamed.com visibly vary: one can request an account or patient number, while another can request a medical record number, guarantor ID, or statement number and date.
The exact fields therefore depend on the healthcare provider. Follow that provider’s form and the formatting printed on its statement rather than assuming an identifier used by another hospital or clinic will work.
Check payment history and receipts
InstaMed’s current receipt documentation covers portal card and eCheck receipts, credit or debit card and eCheck payments made in an office, over the phone, or by mail, receipts for recurring payments, and a full payment-history report.
The consumer-portal documentation also supports viewing payment history and managing automatic payments. Availability still depends on the provider’s implementation, so compare the provider, amount, date, and method shown in the record.

Reconcile with the provider’s billing office
Compare the receipt or payment history with the patient statement and bank date. A payment can have been made through the portal, by eCheck, in an office, by phone or mail, or as an automatic payment, so check the documented channel before concluding there are two charges.
The provider portal or billing office is the appropriate place to reconcile a patient-account balance. Use InstaMed’s consumer route to locate the provider and payment record when that provider supports it.

If it remains unrecognized
If the official lookup or portal and your receipts still do not match the charge, contact the card issuer using the number on the card or its official app. Ask about the transaction and its unauthorized-transaction process; do not enter card details into unofficial lookup sites.
