PPO NETWORKS ARE GARBAGE!!
From a prospective member who has a healthshare. He is getting a 34% rate increase. This healthshare is on a Multiplan PPO network, the same network many health plans utilize. Therefore their members are not only getting the same garbage health plan rates but they are limited in who they can see. They can't negotiate cash rates!

The key to our success is easy: Doctors hate having to fight with health insurance billing like Multiplan. They do it on average of 16 hours a week. If they can use that time to see more patients, they can make more money. Their quality of life goes up significantly. Therefore, they are willing to give better rates if you pay direct, without insurance. Thats the beauty of a free market system. Better rates. Doctors are happier. Patients are now the true customers. 🤯

Takedown Tuesday (because we missed Markdown Monday).

The Crowd paid $0

Some crazy hospital tried to charge $7,000 for a few stitches. Not happening within the Crowd.

We love looney marketing ideas over here....especially when there is alliteration. This one delivers every time!

If you enjoy beef, head on over to that other platform (the one formerly named after the chirp of a bird) to enter our Quarterly Quarter Cow Contest. In fact we might formally rename CrowdHealth to "Cow'd Health"

Anybody else thinking this?

It's near impossible to negotiate with a hospital if you have health insurance. The insurance company has contracts. You are subject to those contracts.

If you don't have insurance then legally they have to negotiate a reasonable price. You are in the drivers seat.

To effectively negotiate a medical bill you need to:

Know the fair price for the service (we have this data).
Are the codes they are using to charge you accurate (we have this data)?
What prices have they historically been willing to negotiate (we have this data)?

But most importantly…

You need to pester the heck out of them until they cave (we have a team that does this).

Alex: hey, I’ll be in Austin, any chance Andy has some time for coffee?

Always good to hang out with our members…especially when we get to talk about prosperity zones, free private cities, charter cities, and small modular nuclear! Go checkout Tipolis and Fluxion.

We love the fact that we can help in a small way enable entrepreneurs go after their dreams and make a better world.

Crowdies are getting way better prices than some of the largest corporations on the planet!

*we did not have enough data for NY or MI. Otherwise, these represent largest states in terms of population.
