How Healthcare Works Podcast with Karen Thomas

COMING IN 2025

Are you one of the millions of people who resort to searching the internet or turning to social media for healthcare answers?

  

  • Ever wonder why you leave the hospital and get a doctor bill 6 months later and another hospital bill after that, or what the codes on the bills mean? Did you know most times you can negotiate your hospital bill?

    

  • Should you get a second opinion, and if so, how?

​​

  • How many times have you felt overwhelmed trying to figure out the insurance plan that's right for you?

  • What do you do when a parent needs more help as they age at home, or it's time to find residential care?

 

Well, you're not alone - even people working in the healthcare industry have these questions.

Hi! I'm Karen Thomas, Founder and CEO of Agrin Health. In my 30 years in the US Healthcare industry, I've had the opportunity to work in the payer, provider and vendor spaces all across the country with literally thousands of leaders in various fields. I've been fortunate enough to have a seat at the tables where the future is discussed and decisions that impact everyone's lives get made.  And I can't tell you how many times I've thought "Man, I wish everyone could sit here and witness this with me. If people just knew this is how it works and why, it would make their lives so much easier."

So we're creating a new kind of healthcare podcast to give you the answers to your questions about how healthcare works...

​In a fireside chat format, we'll go behind the blue curtain with industry experts to reveal the truth behind common healthcare consumer pain points so we can better navigate the system for ourselves and our loved ones.  You'll get to hear the kinds of discussions and debates I get to have regularly as if you're sitting in my living room (or office, or conference seat).  Welcome to an insider's view of healthcare!
