The big idea
Hospital bills are inflated and almost always negotiable, but most patients don't know to ask. AI can find the cash-pay rate, write the letter, and cite the hospital's own financial assistance policy to get 30-70% knocked off.
Some examples
- Ask ChatGPT for a medical bill negotiation letter citing the hospital's financial assistance policy.
- Ask Claude what the cash-pay rate for the same procedure is at 3 nearby hospitals.
- Ask Gemini which charges to dispute first — facility fees, duplicate codes, out-of-network add-ons.
- Ask Perplexity which states require hospitals to offer charity care up to a certain income.
Try it!
Pull a recent medical bill. Ask AI to write the negotiation letter and mail it certified this week.
