What they did
He obtained the coded form of the bill and asked Claude for a spreadsheet with the amount Medicare pays for each procedure, flagging what deserved a closer look. Claude found unbundled charges and questionable items; he checked with ChatGPT, verified for 20 minutes and wrote the letter.
How it went
The report describes a large reduction in the negotiation.
Good to know
Use two AIs and check for yourself, as he did. In Brazil, ask for the itemized bill and compare it with your health plan's or the ANS (the national health agency) price table.
The prompt
Here is the hospital's itemized bill: [paste items, codes and amounts]. Build a table with each item, the amount charged and a price reference from [reference table], and flag duplicates, unbundled items or anything inconsistent with [procedure]. Write a letter requesting a review.
Replace what is in [brackets]. Prompt written by us from the account, not a literal copy of the source. Do not paste other people’s personal data (privacy laws such as LGPD and GDPR apply).
