In the United States, our health insurance system is a mess. Out of pocket expenses are wildly difficult keep track of, especially if you also have an HSA or FSA. You don’t necessarily get billed immediately and when you do get billed, you don’t always recognize who the bills are coming from. Some insurers automatically reject claims knowing that people will not resubmit. This spplication is my attempt to let the consumer take back a little control.
