Lysco is a US-only patient-rights tool for understanding and responding to health-insurance and medical-billing paperwork.

Quick facts

Coverage: Denials, bills, surprise bills, prior auth, EOBs, medical debt, charity care, drug-assistance programs, government benefits.
Geography: All 50 US states plus DC.
Pricing: One core document read each month is free. The finished letter and instructions for an eligible case are a flat $9. No subscription, contingency, or success fee.
What it is — and isn't: Lysco is informational software. It is not a law firm, an insurance broker, or a medical provider. The patient reviews and signs every letter; letters go out under the patient's name.
