Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life’s Best Medicine. Andy Schoonover is the CEO and founder of CrowdHealth, a company that deploys a crowdfunding model to pay its users’ medical bills. CrowdHealth, which is currently operating in all 50 states, can even help people when they’re overseas. The idea for CrowdHealth was born shortly after Andy moved to Austin, TX. His insurance refused to cover a 15 minute, $8,000 procedure for his daughter who had to get tubes in her ears because she had a hole in her eardrum. The insurance company claimed the procedure was ’not essential’ for her.
In this conversation, host Dr. Brian Lenzkes and Andy talk about…
- Why Andy started CrowdHealth
- Issues with Affordable Care Act insurance plans
- How CrowdHealth succeeds where the giant traditional medical insurance companies fail
- Why the current incentive structure for big medical systems and medical insurance companies leads to unethical outcomes
- What kinds of people would benefit most from CrowdHealth and other companies like it
- Carnivore groups and other communities members can join on CrowdHealth
- How CrowdHealth is set up to be incentivized to get its members healthy
