What they did

He had his home and health Grok Bot go through all his insurance explanation-of-benefits statements (EOBs) and medical bills going back to 2025. It found several incorrect codes he says he never would have caught, such as claims denied that should have been treated as in-network. He then had it sign in to his insurance and MyChart accounts and send messages to their billing departments. He says he has been reimbursed about $1,000 so far and is still working through the rest.

How it went

X post by the patient (Oct 25, 2026 UTC): went through all EOBs and bills since 2025, found multiple incorrect codes such as denials that should have been in-network, logged into insurance and MyChart and messaged billing departments; about $1,000 reimbursed so far, still going. No screenshots of the refunds in the post

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Here are my medical bills and insurance EOBs since [date]. Go through each one and flag anything that looks wrong: wrong billing codes, claims denied that should have been in-network, duplicate charges, or amounts that don't match what insurance says I owe. For each problem, show me the line, why you think it's wrong and what I should be refunded. After I approve, draft a short message to the right billing department and send it through my [insurer / patient portal] account. Keep a running list of what's been reimbursed.

Check a hospital bill against what Medicare would pay

A writer gave Claude the coded hospital claim (UB-04) for his late brother-in-law's $195,628 ER bill and asked it to build a spreadsheet of Medicare rates per code.
