What if you positioned your practice like Tim Hortons in the land of Dunkin’? By Editor-in-Chief, So, I’m riding shotgun with my teenage son who some of you have met, Matthew, riding through Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan (yes, that’s a real place in Canada—not a children’s book or a lumberjack’s nickname). We’re up there visiting family when suddenly, Matthew blurts out: “Hey Dad! Look—Tim Hortons!” You’d think he’d spotted Bigfoot holding a maple donut. Now, we live in the southeastern U.S.—where Tim Hortons isn’t exactly on every corner like it is...

Would your practice survive if you took a were no longer in it?
The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast
While it’s easy to pick on concierge medicine practice for its highly visible moniker, small medical offices outside of this niche space are often more guilty of this than concierge practices. Here are ten compelling reasons why this marketing strategy is flawed: By Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today While concierge medicine aims to deliver exceptional care, making the physician the product can lead to significant setbacks.

Only a small percentage of Health Savings Account owners will take advantage of this opportunity initially
The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast
Only a small percentage of Health Savings Account owners will take advantage of this opportunity initially, but the number may grow in the future when HSA-qualified plan enrollees realize how cost certainty for primary care, a focus on maintaining health, and assistance in navigating other care based on price and quality dovetail with their financial and medical goals. By William G. (Bill) Stuart | July 3, 2025 The Senate finished its version of the reconciliation bill and sent it to the next step in the legislative process.

New HSA Provisions and Who Bears The Weight of Education In Your DPC Practice
The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast
The second provision solves a somewhat arcane HSA problem for individuals and families that have a special arrangement with their primary care doctor, known as a “direct primary care” arrangement. Under these arrangements, people pay their doctor a monthly (or annual) fee instead of paying their doctor only when they are seen in person. Today, DPC arrangements disqualify Americans from contributing to an HSA because the arrangements are incompatible with the current rules for eligibility to contribute to an HSA. No longer, starting January 1, 2026. By HSA...

We help you find awesome doctors, negotiate your bills, and fund those bills through a peer to peer funding platform...for less. Welcome to an easier way to pay for healthcare. 🧡
Founder's Story
I'm Andy, the founder of CrowdHealth, and I've seen firsthand the failures of the health insurance system. Years ago, my daughter battled recurring ear infections and a ruptured eardrum. After a necessary, albeit quick, procedure, I was slapped with an $8,000 bill. Our insurance company refused to pay, deeming it "medically unnecessary."
Despite doing everything right, the insurance I had trusted in left us high and dry when we needed it most. That's when I realized the system was broken and decided to create CrowdHealth, a more compassionate and reliable alternative to pay for healthcare.
Traditional health insurance is often impersonal and unreliable, with twisted incentives. At CrowdHealth, we're changing the narrative. We treat our members like family, assisting them on their health journey, and managing their bills at an affordable cost. We're creating a system where the focus is on keeping our members healthy, rather than profiting from their illnesses. Our goal is to redefine the meaning of "healthcare" in our society.
The sad truth is, each year, 250,000 people with insurance declare bankruptcy due to medical bills. It's a clear sign that the existing system isn't working and serves to benefit the pockets of the medical industrial complex. Frustrated with the lack of justifiable reasons, I've stopped seeking answers and decided to build a better solution. And that’s what CrowdHealth is all about.
