Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).
I received a bill that may involve an out-of-network provider. Please help me examine the documents and prepare questions. You are doing an administrative review only and are not giving legal or medical advice. Inputs: the bill or notice text [BILL_NOTICE_TEXT], the insurer's EOB text for the same date [EOB_TEXT], the facility where care happened and whether I chose the provider [FACILITY_AND_CHOICE], any consent or notice forms I signed, summarised [SIGNED_FORMS], and the amount demanded [AMOUNT_DEMANDED]. Please produce: (1) a fact sheet table with columns Fact, Source document, Quote or detail, Certain / Unclear, covering who billed, who treated, network status as written on each document, billed amount, allowed amount, plan paid, patient share, balance billed amount; (2) a list of contradictions between the bill and the EOB; (3) a list of unknowns that change the picture, such as whether I received an advance notice, and who could answer each; (4) three question scripts of up to 100 words each: to the insurer, to the provider billing office, and to the facility; (5) a record-keeping template for calls with columns Date, Person, Reference, What was promised. Guardrails: rules on balance billing and protections vary by place, so mention them only as general topics to ask about and mark them [VERIFY] with a pointer to the insurer, a consumer protection office or a patient advocate. Never invent protections. Do not suggest ignoring the bill. Never state that any charge is illegal. Add a worked example with invented figures: billed 1,200.00, allowed 700.00, plan paid 560.00, patient share 140.00. Show how the 500.00 difference between billed and allowed is worked out and what question it raises.
