Chili's is now using Twitter to help customers understand healthcare.

Chili's — the casual dining chain — is now using Twitter to help customers understand healthcare.

On Wednesday, Twitter user subtlerbutler tweeted: "there's this weird thing you can do, where, if you need information from someone, you can ask them instead of the internet."

He continued: "you can just blindly ask facebook. someone will know! talk to facebook. or chilis. Sometimes @Chilis knows."

"I really want to know what questions you have for Chili’s," Twitter user ScottBaiowulf asked.

@subtlerbutler @Chilis I re... @ AM

"My co-pay at my primary care doc is supposed to be $0 but then I always get charged more money later even for regular checkups," subtlerbutler tweeted in response. "WHY CHILIS."

Surprisingly, the casual dining chain did indeed have an answer.

@subtlerbutler If your dedu... @ Chili's Grill & Bar

"If your deductible hasn't been met, your copay is how much it costs to simply leave your doctor's office," Chili's tweeted. "They can charge way more later."

It's been a busy week for Chili's. On Monday, the chain rolled out a new menu that cut 40% of items to focus on the classics: burgers, ribs, and fajitas.
