I have been working as financial counselor for an infertility practice for 8 years and have been in the insurance end of healthcare for 16 years. Thinking of starting a consulting business to help patients in choosing an employer based or individual insurance plan while helping them understand insurance in laymens terms and not doubletalk. Answers to the most commonly asked questions, like, "What is the difference between an HMO, PPO or POS plan, and which should I choose based on my needs?". I would also give help to those who have received rejected/denied insurance claims, appeal those claims and give patients tools to communicate with insurance companies effectively to get the information they need.
Would you pay for these services?
Is there a need for these types of services?
Any feedback is appreciated!!
