What to do if I had a fire at my home and the contractor that was hired billed the insurance company too much?

The insurance company paid me and then when presented a bill from the contractor the bank would give me a certified check for the contractor. The final bill was short of what the insurance company sent me by quite a lot. Do I send back the remainder or is it mine to keep and replace some of my things with?
