After selling her health-tech startup and braving three COBRA switches in a year, Andrea Coravos built AI-driven workflows to handle insurance forms, lab results and medical history. She compares herself to an orchestra conductor: she doesn’t replace doctors, she brings them a complete score. By extracting every EOB, lab reading and family story into a single, searchable context, she shows up for appointments ready to collaborate instead of scrambling through portals and paper records. She points out that Electronic Health Records exist to bill providers, not to serve patients. AI tools change that by filling in the gaps—surfacing missing reimbursements, flagging historical lab patterns and drafting questions in advance. Her first experiment used Flexpa, Anthropic’s Claude, and Duckbill to reclaim hundreds of dollars owed by Aetna in about 24 hours. What once meant endless hold music now runs on autopilot in the background. Next, she tackled family history. Andrea interviewed her mom over Zoom, fed the transcript into Claude, and generated a structured pedigree: conditions, ages of onset and inheritance patterns. She now shares that document with relatives and streams it into Claude projects for tailored exercise and screening advice. For instance, a twin-study tidbit reminded her that her grandmother lived 25 years longer than her identical sister—because she took her blood pressure meds and exercised. Beyond those two, she’s already set up AI to consolidate lab data from multiple portals, check supplement interactions, and even track body-composition goals. Each weekend project took under a day to launch, yet delivered weeks of saved time and clearer insights. The payoff isn’t hype; it’s an assembled picture that frees both patient and clinician to focus on care instead of chaos.
