About Me

stethoscope and calculator placed on health insurance documents,

For over 25 years, I worked inside the health insurance system.

I processed claims. I verified eligibility. And for nearly two decades, I audited how benefits were set up behind the scenes, reviewing the technical and financial systems that determine what gets paid, what gets denied, how it is paid, and why.

I’ve seen how things are supposed to work.

And I’ve seen where they don’t.

What most don’t realize is this: when something goes wrong with a claim, it’s not always obvious. Errors can happen in how benefits are configured, how claims are processed, or how information is interpreted. And when that happens, the burden often falls on the you, the individual to figure it out.

This process is never easy, especially when you’re already dealing with a medical issue, a bill, or a denial that doesn’t make sense.

Most of the people in medical debt, aren’t in debt because they can’t afford to pay their bills, it’s because they didn’t understand their health insurance policy and how it works. High deductible health plans is the fastest way to the “poor house”.

After spending decades on the inside, I made a decision:

I will never go back to working within that system again, it’s too toxic.

Instead, I’ve chosen to use what I know to empower the individuals outside the healthcare system, the individuals and families who are trying just to make sense of it all.

This work is personal to me.

I believe people deserve to understand their health insurance.
I believe they deserve clear answers.
And I believe they should not feel powerless when something doesn’t look right.

Today, I help individuals:

  • Understand their medical bills and explanations of benefits (EOBs)
  • Review denied claims and identify possible next steps
  • Make sense of their coverage in plain, understandable language
  • Understand Coordination of Benefits

I don’t replace your insurance company but help you understand it so you can make informed decisions and take the right next steps.

If you’re feeling confused, frustrated, or just unsure about what you’re looking at, you’re not alone.

And you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

Email me today for a consultation and let’s see how we can get you sorted out.

Thank You For Your Time
