Amount billed can be whatever the providers (either hospital or doctor) bills to the insurance (a single hospital stay can generate bills from multiple providers). If the provider is contracted with your insurance, they are bound by contract to accept their allowed amount. Your insurance may pay this allowed amount in full, or you may be responsible for some or all of it, depending on if you have a deductible or a copay.
Supplemental plans cover part of all of the balance left.
Even though you have a supplemental plan, you can still have a deductible or copay due from the supplemental plan. Sounds like your supplemental plan covered your balance in full (for this provider).
Please note: there may be multiple bills coming from doctors or specialists who treated you.
If you still have more questions, feel free to ask. I will gladly review your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) and explain it to you if you are still confused about something.
