The Problem

Medical billing is broken. You're paying for it.

Hospitals are required by federal law to publish their prices. Most patients never see this data. We built an AI that does.

80%

of medical bills contain errors

According to Medical Billing Advocates of America, the vast majority of hospital bills have at least one billing mistake.

$210B

wasted annually on billing errors

The U.S. healthcare system loses over $210 billion per year to unnecessary billing complexity and errors.

<1%

of patients ever dispute a bill

Most people don't know they can fight back, don't have the data, or don't know where to start. MedGuard changes that.

How It Works

Three steps to stop overpaying

Upload a bill, get an instant AI audit, and fight back with the hospital's own data.

1

Upload Your Bill

Snap a photo, upload a PDF, paste text, or connect your insurance for automatic monitoring. We accept bills from any provider.

Takes 30 seconds

2

AI Audits Every Line

Our AI cross-references every charge against the hospital's own CMS-filed pricing data* and checks for 5 types of billing errors: upcoding, duplicates, unbundling, phantom charges, and price inflation.

*Pricing-source verification is a Phase 1 production target; demo audits are AI estimates without verified pricing-source citations.

Results in ~15 seconds

3

Fight Back - or We Do

Get a ready-to-send dispute letter, phone call script, and escalation plan - all citing the hospital's own published rates*. Or let our AI agent call the hospital for you.

*Published-rate citations are targeted for the production audit pipeline as hospital MRF coverage is loaded.

Average savings: $2,150

What We Detect

Five error types. Zero tolerance.

MedGuard's AI checks every line item against hospital pricing data*, clinical documentation standards, and CMS billing rules.

*Pricing-data checks are launch-target behavior; the public demo returns AI estimates without pricing-source verification.

Upcoding Detection

Catches when a hospital bills a higher-complexity E/M code than the visit documentation supports. Example: billing a Level 5 ER visit (99285) for a 15-minute visit that warrants Level 3 (99283).

Duplicate Billing

Identifies when the same procedure, supply, or medication is charged more than once on the same date of service. A surprisingly common "mistake" in hospital billing systems.

Unbundling Violations

Detects when hospitals split bundled procedures into separate charges in violation of NCCI (National Correct Coding Initiative) edits.

Phantom Charges

Flags line items that have no supporting clinical documentation - charges for services, supplies, or procedures that appear inconsistent with the visit type and diagnosis.

Chargemaster Price Inflation

Since January 2021, hospitals are federally required to publish negotiated rates for every service (45 CFR Part 180). MedGuard compares what you were billed against what the hospital itself filed with CMS*.

*Production comparison depends on available hospital-published MRF coverage for the bill's facility and service.

Pricing

Plans that pay for themselves

The average American family spends $6,000+ on out-of-pocket medical costs per year. Even one caught error covers the annual subscription.
