In Episode 5 of the Cairn Cast, and our final episode in the series on Marshall Allen's "Never Pay The First Bill", we visit with Dr. Chris Larson of Euphora Health in Austin.

We sit down with Marshall Allen, author of Never Pay The First Bill (and Other Ways to Fight the Healthcare System and Win), to discuss what Americans and American employers can do to fight back against abuse by the healthcare system.

We continue through Marshall Allen's "Never Pay the First Bill", discussing the elephant in the room for America's healthcare system.Healthcare in the US sits at the intersection of capitalism, social entitlement, and shoddy regulation, and there is one group who has an incredible amount of untapped potential to create meaningful change.

We dive back into Marshall Allen's  "Never Pay The First Bill" to discuss the practices of medical billing, particularly addressing a claim in the book that nearly 80% of medical bills contain errors.We tell you what to look for, and touch on 4 of the most common (and most costly) errors.Understanding these concepts will help you save money, and advocate for yourself when you receive medical bills.

We hear people say all the time that they have "great" or "terrible" health insurance -- but what does that really mean?Marshall Allen's new book "Never Pay the First Bill - And Other Ways to Fight the Health Care System and Win" argues that insurance companies are simply middle men who do not actually accept a true risk transfer (in most cases).We break down what it really means to "have great insurance" and what to look for in a quality benefit program.Link to purchase Never Pay the First Bill:https://www.amazon.com/Never-Pay-First-Bill-Health/dp/0593190009Intro music is composed by Bensound (bensound.com)
