On today’s episode of The Call Room, we’re talking about what factors are contributing to increased healthcare costs. Join me to better understand the health insurance industry, the widening pay gap between the administrative side of healthcare and the actual service providers.
We’ll discuss where premiums come from and I’ll share insight about better ways to approach your healthcare as a patient.
I hope you enjoy this episode.
