I built an AI that explains confusing medical bills in plain English — and it all started with my mom

A few months ago, my mom showed me a medical bill she couldn’t understand.
She had good insurance. She paid her copay.
But the paperwork still looked like another language.

I work in AI — and even I couldn’t explain it.

That moment became the seed for DecodeMyForm AI — a tool that reads your EOB (Explanation of Benefits) or medical bill and rewrites it in plain English.

It tells you:
• What actually happened
• What insurance paid
• What you truly owe

No jargon. No codes. Just clarity.

Right now, it’s in early access — you can upload a redacted (de-identified) bill and get a 1-minute AI summary showing exactly how the math breaks down.

🧠 Built with OCR + GPT-based reasoning tuned for healthcare billing.

I’d love feedback from this community:
1️⃣ How would you frame this to reach patients and billing specialists without sounding “too techy”?
2️⃣ Would you use AI for something this sensitive — if it guaranteed privacy and clarity?

Happy to share screenshots or early demo links if people are interested.

    I’m happy to share a short demo or screenshots if anyone wants to see how the AI reads and explains a real EOB (without any personal data).

    Also curious — has anyone here tackled healthcare billing UX before? Would love to compare notes.
