HealthReclaim

I built HealthReclaim because navigating denied insurance claims feels like trying to unlock a boss level in a game you didn’t sign up for. Appeals are confusing, exhausting, and weirdly still involve fax machines so I set out to make the process instant and automated.

With HealthReclaim, you just paste in your denial letter, click one button, and instantly get:

A plain-English explanation of what the denial actually means

A professionally written appeal letter you can send right away

A phone script to use when calling the insurer

I also built Luigi, an AI who can make the call for you. He’s polite, persistent, and is amazing. Also, with his reputation with killing a former healthcare CEO (hmmm... United Healthcare CEO... for denying insurance claims??). I am sure he will kill these claims as well!

The app was built with:

v0.dev for UI scaffolding

Next.js + Vercel for deployment

OpenAI GPT-4o to generate all the outputs

Future integrations with employer benefit platforms (for HR dashboards)

What I learned: How to translate complex, sensitive real-world problems into an intuitive AI workflow — and how to build trust in a space where most users feel powerless.

Challenges: Structuring unpredictable text input (like denial letters), keeping GPT outputs consistent, and making automation feel like support instead of replacement.

What’s next: Appeal tracking, Luigi being able to call insurance/doctors about claim independently, admin dashboard for employers to connect to benefits like Thatch

HealthReclaim does what modern healthcare often doesn’t — it actually tells you what just happened and what to do next. Nice job Luigi!
