What the prompt labels mean

Our fuller version of the person's prompt. They didn't use this version, and we haven't tested it.

Let's work this out together. I'll share my employer's health plan options and you help me compare them. You're not my insurance adviser, so flag anything I should confirm with HR or the insurer.

Goal: Find which plan costs us least overall, and the spending level at which a different plan becomes cheaper.

Inputs (I'll share these as we go):
- Plan comparison: [PDF OF ALL PLANS]
- Who's covered: [E.G. ME AND MY SPOUSE]
- Expected care: [ROUTINE VISITS, PRESCRIPTIONS, PLANNED PROCEDURES]
- Employer HSA contribution: [AMOUNT OR NONE]

Rules:
- Count premiums, deductible, coinsurance and the out-of-pocket maximum for each plan.
- Don't tell me which plan to pick until you've shown the numbers.
- Show your math and label every assumption.

Checkpoint: List each plan's premium, deductible and out-of-pocket maximum so I can confirm you read the PDF correctly.

If you get stuck: Ask me for the missing plan detail rather than guessing.

Verify before you finish: Recheck each breakeven figure against the plan terms.

Output: A table of total yearly cost per plan at several spending levels, the breakeven points, and questions to confirm with HR.

Outcome

During open enrollment, the writer of Explore AI Together, a former life and health insurance agent, saved the employer's comparison page for five medical plans as a PDF and asked Claude to compare them, without first saying which plan the writer leaned toward. Covering two people, the writer asked at what level of spending the $3,400-deductible HSA plan would be beaten by each of the others. Claude found the HSA plan was the cheapest unless medical costs topped $11,939 for the year, when the $2,200-deductible plan pulled ahead, and produced a report of total costs at different spending levels, such as $7,538 in total at $5,000 of expenses. The writer said that analysis would have taken an hour with a spreadsheet.
