In this episode, I sit down with Andy Schoonover, founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, to talk about why traditional health insurance is so expensive, why cash prices can sometimes be dramatically lower, and what happens when you remove the insurance company from the middle.

Andy shares the story that led him to create CrowdHealth after his family was paying more than $1,000 a month for insurance and still ended up with an $8,000 bill for a 15-minute procedure that was denied as “medically unnecessary.”

We also get into how CrowdHealth works for ER visits, pregnancy, pre-existing conditions, functional and integrative care, large medical bills, and metabolic health incentives.

For my family, this conversation hit especially close to home because we were paying about $2,600 per month for health insurance for our family of four.

CrowdHealth is not health insurance, so make sure you understand how the model works and whether it’s right for you.
