Opportunity Thesis

Develop a 'Denial Arbitrage' platform using GPT-4o to parse Explanation of Benefits (EOB) PDFs and match them against scraped CMS and Payer policy guidelines. Charge a 15% contingency fee on all recovered revenue. Mitigate payer retaliation (like portal-blocking) by using Playwright-based browser automation to mimic human data entry into insurance portals.

Why Now

US hospitals lose $260B to denials; a 60% overturn rate proves the 'appeal' process is ripe for LLM automation.
