Prompt / template
Explain this [bill / insurance letter / medical letter] in plain language, like you're talking to a friend. Tell me: what it is, what they're asking me to do, any amount I owe and the due date, any deadline to appeal or respond, and terms I should look up. Then list questions I should ask when I call them. Remind me you're not a lawyer, doctor or financial adviser and that I should verify the details with them.
