Welcome to our pitch for DenyBot.ai

Our product automates a lot of the repetitive tasks for health insurance companies and increases reliability of responses and profit margins.



Aren't profit margins restricted by law? Ostensibly, any reduction in expenses should result in some reduction to patients.


You increase profits by expanding the amount of money put through the system, leading to a perverse incentive of ever increasing costs.


The solution to this is to form a Health Group that combines insurance with a whole bunch of provider services. Then approve those claims that result in you paying yourself.


These are terrible. Then you have a very small in network option and get screwed when going anywhere else. This is basically what happens with CVS Caremark drug coverage - any recurring prescription must go through them or they won't cover it. They'll only cover one off prescriptions at competitors. It's really pretty terrible, especially if you need a compounded medication. I'm not sure how such an anticompetive racket is legally allowed to exist.


This new AI reduces payouts by $10MM. The licensing fee is $10MM. Profit margins stay within the legal limits.


"Just set the AI, KICK BACK and relax."

KickBackDeny.ai take notes YC


If there's one thing I'm concerned about, it's the profit margin of health insurance companies.


I think that's the joke
