I built an app to track my and my partner's insurance claims & coord of benefits across our work plans

Hey everyone, I built a tool for myself and my partner and I'm trying to gauge whether there's any interest in building it into an app that anyone can use.

We both have health benefits through work with different insurers (one of us actually has two plans, plus a HSA account). I found it a pain to try and keep all the documents and numbers in order. The app parses your receipts and insurance results, knows which plan to submit to first, what the remaining amount to get reimbursed is, which document the next insurer is going to ask for, and it nags us when it's time to follow up. Running all our own claims through it, we got over $2,000 reimbursed from our insurance this year.

I'm thinking of turning this into an IOS app - everything processed on-device (receipts never get uploaded anywhere, sync goes through your own iCloud), and charge a small annual fee, the idea being you come out way ahead because you actually submit everything you're owed.

If that sounds like something you'd use, I put up a waitlist here: https://fullyreimbursed.ca

Feel free to take the post down if this isn't appropriate for the subreddit, but this was a useful tool for me and I think it'd be cool to make it available to everyone.

I built an app to track my and my partner's insurance claims & coord of benefits across our work plans, would you use it?

Hey everyone, I built something for myself and my partner and I'm trying to gauge whether there's enough interest to turn it into a proper iPhone app that anyone can use.

We both have health benefits through work with different insurers (one of us actually has two plans, plus a HSA account). I found it a pain to try and keep all the documents and numbers in order, so I built an app that me and my partner have been using to track our own claims.

The app parses your receipts and insurance results, knows which plan to submit to first, what the remaining amount to get reimbursed is, which document the next insurer is going to ask for, and it nags us when it's time to follow up. Running all our own claims through it, we got over $2,000 reimbursed from insurance this year.

I'm thinking of turning this into an IOS app - everything processed with on-device OCR and AI for privacy reasons (receipts never get uploaded anywhere, sync goes through your own iCloud), and charge a small annual fee, the idea being you come out ahead because you actually submit everything you're owed.
