Health-care payments company Waystar unveiled a new AI tool that can help hospitals quickly tackle one of their most costly and tedious responsibilities: fighting insurance denials.

The company's new solution, called AltitudeCreate , uses generative AI to automatically draft appeal letters, which can be costly and time-consuming to put together manually.

Hospitals and health systems spend nearly $20 billion a year trying to overturn denied claims, according to a report.
