Why rekupr exists

We are here to change a system built to confuse you.

Healthcare billing, insurance, and benefits are some of the hardest systems in American life to understand, and that difficulty is rarely an accident. Ordinary people are the ones who pay for it. rekupr exists to change the odds.

Why we started

Paolo ResteghiniFounder, rekupr

When a system is confusing, the people inside it tend to lose. They overpay. They give up. They assume the number on the bill must be correct. We are here to change the odds for the average American who never had a chance to read the fine print.

Paolo started rekupr after the Georgia Center for Opportunity, a nonprofit working to lift people out of poverty by clearing the barriers to steady work, strong families, and a good education. The pattern was always the same: a system too complicated for the person it was supposed to serve, and no one on their side to explain it.

How we run this.

Not a mission statement. Just the handful of things we do not compromise on, whatever size rekupr grows to.

Nobody should need an insider

Most people paying these bills never had the chance to learn the codes. That should not be the price of a fair bill.

Useful over impressive

No growth hacking, no dark patterns, no manufactured urgency. Just a tool that tells you the truth about your bill and gets out of your way.

Built by people who have been on the other side of the bill.

We refuse to accept that reading a medical bill has to feel this way.

We are not pointing fingers at your doctor.

Medical billing and coding is genuinely complicated, and most clinical teams are doing their best inside it. They are understaffed, overworked, and focused, rightly, on your care rather than the labyrinth of codes and modifiers behind the scenes.

Errors happen because the system makes them remarkably easy to make, even for people trying hard to get it right. rekupr is here to catch the mistakes the system produces, and make sure they do not come out of your pocket.

Catch the system mistake

Duplicate charges, upcoding, unbundled lab panels, missing modifiers.

Translate the code

Plain English explanations from licensed CPT and ICD-10 data, not guesses.

Stand on equal footing

Appeal letters that cite the right regulations, written for the right person.

A real saving story

One bill, caught and cut in half.

An emergency room visit during pregnancy was billed at a high-severity level it did not warrant. Sophie had already run the bill past ChatGPT, which told her the charge looked normal. rekupr read the same line, flagged the upcoding, showed the evidence, and helped fight it. The corrected bill came back at less than half the price.

“After the ER, I just wanted it over with. ChatGPT told me the bill looked normal, so I almost paid it. rekupr caught the upcoded charge and walked me through fighting it. I ended up paying less than half of what they first asked.”
