You in the #btc  crowd and have a birthday in July? Some goodness headed your way via @satscoffee image
We end this weeks “my 4 year old can out negotiate your health insurance plan” tour in our home state: the great state of Texas. The moral of the story of this jaunt around the country is that you need a CT scan of the head if you are still paying these health insurance plans to negotiate for you. When you do that we suggest you “head” to Amarillo to get a 90%+ discount by paying in cash. 🤠 image
Babies and active injuries continue to be the most requested funding events. image
The Sovereign Health Podcast Episode #3 is live. This may be our most important episode yet. If you want to learn how to keep from being price gouged by hospitals and keep your medical bills 👇🏻, you need to watch! youtu.be/FaA7Ysl4FNI image
A member of CrowdHealth reached out to their Care Advocate looking for a great pediatrician. That member just so happens to live down the street from our CEO @SchoonoverAndy. Care Advocate: "Andy, do you happen to know a great pediatrician in your area?" Andy: "Dr. XYZ is the best. They should go there!" As a result our member was incredibly grateful they got a recommendation from someone who had firsthand experience. A bell went off. We need to crowdsource great doctors. There are so many directories of docs that are terrible. So, we are building our own doctor database and we want you to help. The core of this database will be from our existing community. They have seen thousands of doctors over the last couple years. We want to supplement this data with recommendations from people who follow us from afar but aren't CrowdHealth members. All existing members of CrowdHealth will have access to the database. If you are not a member of CrowdHealth, if you contribute a doc to the database we will give you access to the entire database. If you need to find a great doctor and we don't have one in the database, we will reach out to other members in our community who live close to see if they know of a good one. If not, we will look for one for you. We will accept any doctor contribution but we are in special need of great doctors who are: Primary Care Internal Medicine Pediatrics OBGYN Dermatology Independents (not affiliated with hospital systems) Ones that accept #BTC  We are gathering data over the next two months and will launch the database in late summer/early fall. Submit your doctor recommendation here: form.jotform.com/231774947647169 If you submit a valid email we will send you login information when the database is ready. - this is not to be confused with a network. We abhor networks - only doctors right now to keep it simple. We will consider other practitioners in the future. - v2 will show doctor cash pay pricing...just not a part of the MVP launch. - if you submit a doctor you will be a part of a work in progress. We will grow the database over time. If you live in Salisbury, MD and are going to call and complain that we don't have a doctor recommendation in Salisbury, MD then please don't join. image
We 🧡🧡🧡 this. When you can impact pricing by paying in cash and reduce healthcare usage by being more healthy the system wide impact is magnified. image
Episode 2 of The Sovereign Health Podcast is live. Our guest is Dr Dave Heitmann. We chat toilets that can analyze our waste to predict adverse health events, mirrors that can spot skin cancer…and our CEO @SchoonoverAndy is coached into his first cold plunge. youtu.be/uGhmCDRZZuI image
May Crowdfunding by type image
3 changes to our #btc  community: Change #1 : We currently collect $50 per month for membership fees and UP TO $125 to help a community member for their health event. If the community does well and we ask for less than $125 then the difference is excess funds. You have historically sent that excess to Swan. Starting 7/1 you will keep excess funds in your pocket and use it however you’d like. Invest it wherever you’d like. Take your family out to dinner. It’s your money. The better the community does, the more money in your pocket. Expectation for July (members <55) $50 Subscription fee $60 crowdfunding request $110 total $65 in excess funds (you keep this) This could change if we have a large event. If you are on a promo code we will only ask for a total (subs fee plus crowdfunding) up to the promo $ amount. Change #2 #btc  doctor database. Details to follow later this week. Change #3 ⚡️. Details to follow next week.
