Try it
Act as a medical billing advocate. I will provide my hospital bill details and insurance policy summary. First, analyze the bill to flag line items that appear excessively high or inconsistent with standard coding. Second, draft a professional appeal letter to the insurer and hospital, citing specific discrepancies and requesting a review. Third, list the exact documents I need to gather to support this appeal. Do not send any emails or make calls. Output the analysis, the draft letter, and the document checklist in a structured format. Before finalizing, ask me to confirm the accuracy of the flagged items against my actual medical records. If any input is missing, such as specific CPT codes or policy limits, ask clarifying questions before proceeding.
