#9: Never pay the first bill with Marshall Allen

Tune in to hear CrowdHealth founder Andy Schoonover and healthcare negotiation master Marshall Allen discuss how to lower your healthcare bills. Marshall is an author and healthcare leader helping patients stand up to the complex US healthcare system. Learn about ways you can challenge unfair healthcare bills, including paying in cash, negotiating directly with providers and even taking bills to small claims court. Navigating the healthcare system may seem impossible, but with the tools CrowdHealth and strategies Marshall provides we can take back our rights as healthcare consumers.
