Americans owe $220 billion in medical debt, and 80% of medical bills contain errors — duplicate charges, upcoded procedures, unbundling, wrongful denials, balance-billing violations, out-of-network surprises. I built Reclaim to catch those errors and handle the appeals process end to end.
You upload a photo or PDF of your medical bill or Explanation of Benefits. Gemini 2.5 Flash extracts every line item, CPT code, and charge. Reclaim then checks for:
If no errors are found, you pay nothing. If errors are found, a one-time $29 per-case unlock generates the appeal letter and sends it directly to your insurer's fax line via the Telnyx Fax API — with a delivery receipt and a 30-day response calendar. Most people don't know they can appeal a medical bill, and fewer know how. The process requires specific legal language, relevant policy citations, and tight deadlines. I wanted to automate the parts that make it inaccessible: document parsing, error detection, letter drafting, fax sending, and deadline tracking.
The intake flow accepts photos or PDFs. Gemini 2.5 Flash handles extraction. Supabase Postgres stores cases under row-level security per user, with medbill_*
-prefixed tables. Auth is Google OAuth via Supabase Auth.
After errors are confirmed, Stripe Checkout handles the $29 unlock. The app generates the appeal letter with pdf-lib
— supporting internal first-level appeals, external review requests, and FDCPA cease-and-desist letters depending on the situation — then faxes it via Telnyx with a delivery receipt.
A Vercel cron job runs daily and sends reminder emails via Resend at 7 days, 3 days, 1 day, and overdue per appeal.
The dashboard uses what I'm calling a brutalist editorial design: black on cream, no rounded cards, typography-forward.
