### **How It Works**

1. **Upload Billing Records**\
   Drag and drop your billing files directly into Paxton.
2. **Automated Extraction**\
   Paxton identifies line items, consolidates charges, and calculates totals.
3. **Structured Summary Output**\
   Your report will include:
   * **Accurate total billing calculations**
   * **Provider-level grouping of charges** for easy review
   * **Clear identification of lien-bearing costs** (e.g., Medicare, hospitals)
   * **Exportable summaries** ready for demand letters or negotiations

⚠️ **Important:** If you analyze billing records using the Assistant or other tools, you may only receive partial outputs. Use the dedicated **Medical Billing Summaries** tool for complete results.

### **Tips for Using Medical Billing Summaries**

* **Incorporate into the AI Assistant**\
  Upload your Medical Billing Summary into Paxton’s AI Assistant to **supplement drafting** of key legal documents such as demand letters, negotiation outlines, and settlement strategies.\
  This ensures your drafted output reflects accurate totals, lien-bearing charges, and provider-level context — saving even more time while strengthening case value.
* **Pair with Medical Chronologies**\
  For a full picture, use summaries alongside Medical Chronologies to connect billing charges with treatment dates, diagnoses, and provider notes.
