I'm writing a medium series as a guide for patients on how to avoid surprise medical bills. I added the draft here and would love your feedback too! https://medium.com/surprise-medical-bills/a-guide-for-every-...

gorgeous!!!

this is amazing

exactly, this is really tragic.

:( this sucks. Github would not even exist without Tom Preston-Werner and I am really scared to see how it will exist without him. Tragic for all his users.

from a female founder:

PG picks the best.

it's time we step up to plate ladies. if we want to compete toe to toe with the gents then we have to be better than the ones we are up against. period. if you're better, trust me, he will pick you regardless of your gender.

it might even be in your favor if you just happen to be a woman on top of being better :)

Shakespeare. amazing clarity of thought put to words.

as a user I have never been more excited!! this is so awesome :)

hey namank, no motivation just sharing my thoughts. we're building eligibleapi.com though if you want to check it out.

thanks for the gals!

Good point. Will add this to website now: 419 Fulton Street Suite F San Francisco, CA 94102.

Sidenote: this is the reason why great hackers stay out of healthcare. you're scaring people away with this comment. I understand privacy needs to be taken seriously, but I do not think it should stifle innovation.

Cool, thanks for the suggestion. The sandbox should be rolled out by the end of the week. Any reason why you put 'hackers' in quotations? Does it bother you that we use the word?

Nah - not true. I'm bored with the argument that insurance companies are the bad guys. Gotta give me something more original :)

holla!

When you sign up you get $30 free credit (600 free test transactions to start).

Traditionally health information technology has been run by non-technical bureaucracies sitting around a table creating "specs" that hackers then need to mud through (usually 300+ page pdf) in order to integrate/implement. The bureaucracies intentions are good: free up the data to build from, but the result is just the same old legacy vendors end up using it.

Thank you. One step at a time. We're focused on winning as the platform where all US healthcare eligibility information is passed to prove that it can be normalized and done fast. Then we will move on to help hackers take over the whole healthcare transactional world including clinical, imaging, and pharma data :) Less talk, more do!

thanks! :)

Makes sense.

Thanks for being constructive with the feedback :) just pushed the update and took your advice on wording.
