A method and system for tracking and verifying estimates, invoices, and
billing exceptions for charges billed to a customer by a vendor is
disclosed. The vendor submits an estimate via a billing verification
system. The system generates an estimate record and facilitates customer
review of the estimate. The system also receives an invoice for the
completed repair from the vendor and generates an invoice record. Based
on the estimate record and the invoice record, the system can perform an
audit to compare the invoice to the estimate. The system also enables the
customer to review the invoice via the billing verification system to
identify billing exceptions associated with any disputed charges. A
billing exception record is generated in the billing verification system
for each of the billing exceptions. The vendor is then notified of the
billing exceptions. The vendor reviews and responds to the billing
exception records via the billing verification system. A billing
exception response record is generated for each vendor response. The
customer is then notified of the reviewed billing exception response
records.
