“Never Pay the First Bill: And Other Ways to Fight the Healthcare System and Win” by Marshall Allen. This book is a how-to guide to understanding your medical bills and fighting back when you think they’re wrong. Perfect for the healthcare consumer who has the time and gumption to fight their own medical billing/health insurance battles. If you read it and feel equipped to get things corrected on your own, great! If not, give me a call.😉
“The Price We Pay: What Broke American Health Care–and How to Fix It” by Marty Makary, MD. An eye-opening synopsis of all that is wrong with the U.S. healthcare system, this book will get your blood pressure up, but make you not want to go to the doctor’s office to get it checked (for fear of an overpriced bill). This book is perfect for dorks (😂) folks who are obsessed with righting the wrongs of our messed up system (like me). While it doesn’t really offer solutions for resolving our system’s problems, it’s guaranteed to educate healthcare consumers on all the ways they’re getting screwed by the system and make them want to fight back!
