Grieving family uses AI chatbot to cut hospital bill from $195,000 to $33,000 — family says Claude highlighted duplicative charges, improper coding, and other violations

An individual whose brother-in-law recently passed has explained how they managed to slash the hospital medical bills left behind from hundreds to tens of thousands. Nthmonkey on Threads claims that they disputed the hospital’s original bill of $195,000 for treatment of their relative’s final four hours of intensive care after a heart attack. According to them, AI chatbot advice was instrumental in analytically, calmly, and coolly reducing the bill to a far more reasonable $33,000.
