What they did

She gave Grok Bot her year-to-date medical bills, insurance EOBs, receipts and coverage details. She says it found she had overpaid one provider by almost $3,000, caught several double billings, and showed that several thousand dollars more should come off what she still owes because claims weren't filed correctly. It then wrote and sent refund emails to the providers with the documents attached, citing the Texas law that requires refunds within 30 days of notice.

How it went

A list of overpayments and billing errors with amounts, and refund requests ready to send.

Worth knowing

  • One person's X post; the refunds hadn't come back yet when she posted. Refund deadlines differ by state, so have the bot check yours, and read every email before it goes out.
