Developer Builds 8 MCP Servers to Fight Health Insurance Denials with AI
aidenhartxxx · reddit · 2026-08-13
After successfully appealing a health insurance denial, a developer transformed the research process into 8 MCP servers (featuring 35 read-only tools) designed for use with agents like Claude.
These tools connect directly to public federal and state databases to solve hard investigative questions in appeals:
- Conflict Check: Query if the denying physician received payments from pharma companies.
- Network Adequacy: Count real providers in a specialty by ZIP tier to argue for out-of-network exceptions.
- Regulation Extraction: Fetch actual regulatory text instead of potentially misleading insurer summaries.
- Case Law Search: Search 9M+ legal opinions for relevant litigation precedents.
The author also provided instructions on connecting these servers to tools like Claude Code and Cursor via HTTP or stdio, while cautioning about the limitations of semantic search tools.
