In early September 2025, our grandmother fell and broke her hip. She was admitted to Memorial Hermann Hospital, one of Houston's largest hospital systems — and then readmitted multiple times as complications arose from the surgery.
With each admission came another massive bill. Five admissions. Sixty-six pages. $751,486.81 in total charges. Our family stared at these bills and had the same question millions of families have: Is this right? How would we even know?
So we decided to find out. Ian, a 15-year-old sophomore, and Grayson, his 14-year-old brother in eighth grade, used coding skills learned from their mentor David Zhang to build a program that reads every line item and compares it against the U.S. government's official Medicare rates. What we found was staggering — $323,044 in overcharges, including ECG tracings marked up 16,000% and blood tests billed at 80× the federal rate.
That's how BillXM was born — built by two teenagers who refused to accept that a medical bill is correct just because it's big.
