Not defending this, but what you are doing is entering claims information exactly how a hospital / clinician would have to. A lot of this is done automatically by software now. This isn't a dark-pattern, it's just slapping a shitty user interface on top of a standard claims billing process. It's sort of like using POSTMAN to interact with an API.

Then why can’t customers like him get the UX helpers that hospitals would have. Presumably they’re not swapping browsers all day?
Well, they're using a single Approved Browser (perhaps IE 6.0?) instead of those weird Safari and Firefox things.

But on a more serious note I wouldn't necessarily assume that any "UX helpers" exist, it's plausible that some overworked healthcare worker is using the exact same system and just has more experience in doing so.

It's very likely that the UX used by the hospital workers is not browser based.
