This is HUGE!!!
As a business owner, I'm always looking for resources that help people keep more of the money they work so hard to earn. Sometimes that means reducing expenses. Sometimes it means finding smarter solutions.
Earlier this year, I got to experience one of those resources personally.
After an unexpected emergency gallbladder surgery, my original hospital bill was $37,711.29.
Before my responsibility was even calculated, my healthcare organization negotiated the bill down to $10,359.46, a savings of $27,351.83 (72.5%).
Then, because my annual $2,500 PRA had already been mostly met through other eligible medical expenses (along with wellness credits I'd earned), my final responsibility was just $1,358.29.
As someone who helps business owners identify opportunities to improve their financial health, this experience reinforced something I've believed for a long time:
The right resources don't just save money, they provide peace of mind.
Healthcare is one of the largest expenses many families and small business owners face. Having an affordable option that also negotiates medical bills on your behalf can make an incredible difference when the unexpected happens.
This is just one of many resources I make available to the businesses and families I work with through OptiME Business Consulting & Resources. My goal has always been to help people improve cash flow, reduce unnecessary expenses, and keep more of what they've earned.
This experience reminded me that sometimes the biggest savings come from having the right people and the right resources in your corner.
If you're a business owner, self-employed, or simply looking for affordable healthcare options, I'd be happy to share what I've learned and help you explore whether this might be a good fit for you.
