Insurance letters, translated — into plain English.

"This is not a bill." Then what is it? Insurance and Medicare mail seems designed to confuse. AI is remarkably good at turning it into plain words — and telling you whether anything actually needs doing.

The ideaYou do not have to decode it alone

An "Explanation of Benefits" (EOB), an Annual Notice of Change, a prior-authorization letter — these all have a plain-English meaning underneath. Type or paste the confusing part into your AI helper and ask what it means. You will get a calm translation in seconds.

Try typingI got a letter from my insurance that says: [copy the confusing sentences]. Explain what this means in plain, simple language. Do I need to do anything?

ImportantKeep your private details private

Before you paste, leave out your Medicare number, Social Security number, and account numbers. The AI does not need them to explain the letter — the wording is enough. This is a good habit with any website.

Rule of thumb

Share the words of the letter, never the numbers that identify you.

Going furtherPrepare for the phone call

If something looks wrong — a charge you do not recognize, a denial that seems unfair — AI can help you get ready to call. It will tell you what to ask, and what words to use.

Try typingMy insurance denied a claim for [what it was]. Give me a short list of questions to ask when I call them, and what information I should have in front of me.

Good to know: AI explains letters well, but it does not know your specific plan. For final answers, the phone number on the back of your insurance card is still the authority — AI just makes that call much easier.

Your turn

Take one confusing letter off the pile:

Find one piece of insurance mail you set aside.
Paste the confusing part into your AI helper (no ID numbers).
Ask: "Explain this simply. Do I need to act?"
