An advocate for everyone the system wears down.
Insurers count on appeals being too confusing to bother with. We make fighting back the easy choice.
Put the power to appeal in everyone's hands.
Insurers deny about one in five in-network claims. Fewer than one percent of patients ever appeal — yet roughly 40 to 60 percent of appeals succeed. That gap is billions of dollars in rightful coverage, abandoned because the process is built to exhaust you.
AppealSmith reads your denial letter, tells you for free whether it's worth fighting, and — if you choose to — drafts a formal, citation-backed appeal built for your specific plan and state. You stay the author and the sender. We do the heavy, intimidating part.
We make money one honest way: a flat fee for the appeal package, never a cut of what you win. Our incentive is a letter good enough that you actually file it.
The denial machine counts on you giving up.

Principles we won't bend
The product is built around these — not the other way around.
Preparation, not legal advice
We prepare documents and inform your decisions, like a tax-filing tool. For complex cases or large sums, we point you to an attorney.
Honest odds, never a promise
Every verdict is a probability with a named public source. We will never tell you that you're guaranteed to win.
Flat fees, never a cut
One transparent charge for the work — never a percentage of your recovery. You keep every dollar you win back.
Your data, kept to the minimum
We delete your uploaded letter right after reading it and keep only the anonymized facts needed to build your appeal.
Your denial isn't the final word.
Most people never appeal — and most appeals that are filed win. Find out where yours stands, free.
