Several listeners sent us an article with the headline Make your health insurance cry, about a new AI tool to fight health insurance. We had to learn more.


Meet Holden Karau: a Bay Area software engineer who says she’s “trying to make health insurance suck a little bit less.”


So she’s created an AI tool to appeal insurance denials.


Her project, Fight Health Insurance, is a labor of love (she’s not earning money from it) and fueled by hatred (of insurance companies).


It draws on her tech expertise and on her years of experience fighting health insurance: for gender-affirming care, for rehab after getting hit by a car, and even for her dog, Professor Timbit.


We talked with Holden about what it took to build the tool, how it works, and what she hopes comes next.


Here’s a transcript of this episode.

Of course we’d love for you to support this show. This month, every dollar you give gets matched dollar-for-dollar, by NewsMatch, from the Institute for Nonprofit News.
