It is rare to find a tool that so perfectly aligns with the mission of fixmedicine.org as Fight Health Insurance. But you can use it, right now, to fight back against a claim denial using AI.
While many organizations talk about "fixing" the system from the outside, the team behind this project—led by the incredible software engineer and advocate Holden Karau—is actually providing the tools to force accountability on the inside. It's been covered by multiple news organizations too.
Why This Is the "Fix" We Need
Holden’s journey to creating this platform is deeply personal and mirrors the frustration many of you share. After navigating the "maze of disappointment" that is the American healthcare system—from fighting for gender-affirming care to battling for coverage after a traumatic car accident—Holden realized that insurance companies rely on one thing: the hope that you will eventually give up.
By using AI trained on actual medical literature and state appeal decisions, Fight Health Insurance empowers patients to "speak the language" of their insurers. It effectively turns the tables on a system that has long used AI and bureaucratic hurdles to deny care to those who need it most.
