EPISODE 148 – Angel has spent over 40 years working in the healthcare system. Having started out as a Candy Striper at the age of 13, she eventually went on to become a Registered Nurse and ultimately a Family Nurse Practitioner. In 2015 she acquired a medical fraud investigation company that assists insurance carriers to review medical bills and records for evidence of erroneous charges and/or blatant fraud. While reviewing the company’s data, Angel was shocked to learn that, not only was her company instrumental in helping their clients to uncover over $30 million dollars in medically unnecessary treatment and/or billing errors, but the data also revealed that roughly 93% of the medical bills they reviewed contained errors. It was at that moment that Angel knew she needed to do more. As a Nurse first, Angel knew that she needed to let the consumers of healthcare know that this was happening and how they could protect themselves. Angel is on a mission to educate, equip, and empower everyone to become better “consumers” of healthcare by providing the tools and resources needed to be able to protect ourselves from the medical fraud, waste, and abuse that currently plagues our healthcare system. In the episode, Angel explains the four most common billing errors; how to approach medical appointments and bills to be sure you’re charged correctly; her 4-step, systematic “DOVE” approach for tracking expenses…and more!
