Results so far
Every case in our free test is counted here if the person said yes to being counted, including losses, cases still waiting for a decision, and cases where we never heard back; each number is shown next to the total it comes from, and nothing here can identify a person.
Not updated yet: the free test has not opened. This is our free test: no one paid for these packets. Counts by the month the case started. Percentages appear only once at least 10 decisions are in. A "documented" result means we have the plan's decision letter; "reported" means the person told us without sending the letter.

The same table, split by denial reason and by kind of plan, appears once a group has at least 3 cases. Groups smaller than that are added into "other" so no one can be picked out.
We also ask each person one question about what the packet would have been worth to them. Those answers are kept private and are not shown here.
These are our own counts for a small test in Texas. They are not a prediction for any one case.
