Counterforce Health

Durham healthtech building a patient-side tool for appealing health-insurance claim denials. A patient uploads a denial letter and plan documents and the product drafts an appeal, combining a human expert team with a model the site says is trained on successful appeals. Aimed at patients, doctors, and caregivers directly; the appeal generator is free to use. Organized on a .org domain.

The site credits grants from the NIH and the University of Pennsylvania.

The site states more than 10,000 appeals generated, an average of two minutes to produce one, and a win rate it describes as twice the national average. These are company figures. Its stated market context: roughly 850 million claims denied annually, under 1 percent ever appealed, and about 75 percent of filed appeals succeeding.
