Exactly what I was thinking. It could be a simple app that you take a photo of your itemised medical bill and it decodes it for you. Although after reading this, I think an app that does this automatically would fail as itemised bills do not seem to be the norm and even when you ask for one, nothing makes sense and there appears to be a lack of standardisation.
I think insurance companies should offer this as a value-add. A broken down, item-by-item explanation of what you were charged for and what it means.
