Introduction email
Subject: A free resource for people with confusing medical bills Hi [name], I run The Murray Standard, a nonprofit patient-advocacy resource. We put together free, plain-language tools for people dealing with surprise medical bills, insurance denials, and coverage questions — including bill and EOB explainers, appeal letter help, and guides for Medicare, Medicaid, VA and TRICARE. I'm not asking for anything. I'd just like you to have it in case someone in your community needs it: https://themurraystandard.org/resources If it's useful to the people you serve, you're welcome to add it to your resource list. Happy to answer any questions about how it works or who it's for. Thank you for the work you do, [your name] The Murray Standard
