Slingshot

Hi! We’re Zoe and Pranov, co-founders of Slingshot, software to reduce people’s medical bills.

The Problem:
Healthcare in the US is complicated, confusing, and above all too expensive. 50% of Americans now carry medical debt, and estimated 80% of hospital bills have errors.

What Slingshot Does

When a patient gets a medical bill they upload it to our website, and Slingshot analyzes the bills to find the errors, the up-codes, the items insurance should have covered but didn’t, and the items that can be negotiated to a lower cost. Slingshot handles all the time consuming interactions with hospitals and insurance companies to fix errors and negotiate costs. We take a small percentage of the savings we get customers, and save customers 50% per bill on average.

The Backstory of How We Started
When I (Zoe) got a $1400 bill for a gynecologist appointment I was shocked and angry. I trusted my doctor, but was confused why I was being billed over a month's worth of rent for something I thought would be free. 4 weeks later, I had researched, filed claims, audited medical codes, and negotiated to reduce my bill. The whole process though was exhausting.

Maybe your story involves pregnancy complications, or maybe it involves a planned checkup, whatever the case if it occurred at a hospital it likely involves an inflated bill. And that bill can likely be reduced in cost.
