Most medical bills contain errors. Over-billing and outright fraud are far too common. What's a consumer to do?
In this episode, CEO Scott Speranza shares how HealthLock performs automated audits of medical bills by seamlessly connecting with the patient's health plan portal. We also discuss an exciting new partnership with MasterCard that gives many cardholders (including me) free access.
I connected my insurance to HealthLock and soon got a helpful audit of my claims (which turned out to be clean --thanks Harvard Pilgrim!)
Scott unravels the complexities of coordination of benefits --where he offers reflection on my experience with my dependents--, the significance of automated HIPAA authorizations, and provides practical insights for managing family healthcare. And he shares his views on the delicate balance of privacy and oversight.
One thing he recommends (which providers hate) is to wait for a while to pay your medical bills since charges initially attributed to the patient may actually be covered in the end.
Host David E. Williams is president of healthcare strategy consulting firm Health Business Group. Produced by Dafna Williams.
