Fund humans, not health insurance image
We helped Ngozi save $25,000. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก image
We get asked often how we get such good pricing for our members. Insurance model: throw down an insurance card and deal with the consequences later. High time preference. Price takers. CrowdHealth model: let us negotiate the procedure before you go and pay at the point of service. Low time preference. Price makers.
80% of chronic disease can be avoided with healthy eating, $1 out of $4 is spent on diabetics (90% preventable for TDM2), yet med schools don't teach nutrition. The only Nutrition focused course in Harvard Med course catalog is NCE522.0- Culinary Medicine and Nutrition. Focus is on cooking. Our system is bad from both sides: bad eating leading to chronic disease (higher consumption) for which we pay exorbitant $ to treat. Sooner you realize that the majority of doctors don't have a clue about nutrition, the better off you'll be. Ask for the source of their info. If its a huge national org (AHA, ADA, etc) then you know they've outsourced their learning to huge orgs that have been wrong for 50 years.
Happy Cinco de Mayo ๐Ÿ’ƒ 1) Crowdfunding requests have been significantly lower than expected resulting in funds available in your crowdfunding accounts being higher than expected. We hate inefficient uses of capital. Therefore, we will not be collecting any additional deposits to your crowdfunding accounts this billing cycle. Subscription fee only. We will soon announce some changes to put more money back in your pockets. Use the funds to stack some sats, give to your favorite charity, or have an awesome Cinco de Mayo fiesta. ๐Ÿน 2) We are eliminating negotiation fees and account closure fees. They were too confusing. We are wrapping all our fees into the subscription fee to increase simplicity and transparency. Subscription fee is $50 per person per month going forward. image
For those wondering, we will gladly submit Emergency Speedboats to the Crowd for funding image
Happy 2 year birthday to us! Thousands of bills paid, thousands of satisfied customers, tens of thousands of crowdfunding requests, millions of dollars saved. Thanks to all who have supported us. We are so very appreciative. image
Healthcare crowdfunding and advocacy at its best. Our member was diagnosed with cancer and we were privileged to be her ally while walking alongside her in the battle. The surgery went ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป and the prognosis is ๐Ÿ’ฏ image
