Explanation of Benefits is a Schoolhouse Rock-style musical about the history of the American healthcare system.
EOB premiered at Caveat in Manhattan’s Lower East Side in June of 2019. The show had sold out performances in the summer of 2019 and the winter of 2020. Ironically, the spring run of the show was disrupted by COVID-19.
Explanation of Benefits was featured in the Kaiser Health News podcast, An Arm and a Leg (season 3, episode 3).
EOB was selected for CAVEAT’s Fall 2019 Incubator, during which the show was expanded to include a second musical, AcciDental, which is based on the book Teeth by oral health reporter Mary Otto.
