Matt Ungs, the Founder of Patient Fairness, a one-of-a-kind platform that is dedicated to helping people lower or eliminate unfair medical bills here in America joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Healthcare Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Matt Ungs discuss the following:
How did you come up with this concept to help people with their medical bills?
What is the biggest over payment or issue you are seeing today?
What changes with the current healthcare system in America would you like to see changed?
What types of clients do you take on and how can they successfully use your platform?
What advice do you have for anyone going to see a doctor or using an urgent care or any other provider today?
Matt Ungs founded Patient Fairness after a nearly three-decades career at health plans negotiating with hospitals, physicians and other medical providers to participate in insurance networks. Over the years, he observed that medical providers and health insurers were thriving as medical prices and insurance premiums soared. Patients and the public suffer because they fund provider and insurer prosperity through higher medical bills, employer benefit costs and direct insurance premiums. Worse yet, medical providers and health insurers use patients as collateral as they fight over pieces of the prosperity pie, while the patients are stuck in the middle with surprise medical bills and unaffordable charges.
