I feel weird about writing this because I really prefer personal storytelling and sharing my deepest, darkest fears, but MTC is all about supporting mothers and cancer patients, so I had to dedicate a whole post to this in hopes of really getting your attention. I WISH I learned about this years ago.
You can have a personal assistant who handles your and your family’s medical claims and appeals for $40/month (less expensive than my probiotics). In the six weeks since I joined, they’ve successfully appealed $1600 worth of medical claims. Can you imagine how many mishandled claims we pay out of pocket throughout our treatment?
NB: there is NO kickback/incentive for me whatsoever. I only met with the founder once to make sure all the business practices were legit because it seemed too good to be true, and I insist on vetting recommendations before passing them to you. The value of the business is in the technology that holds all the policies- not in your data. Your data is not sold. Sometimes, I have to message people on the side to make sure what they’re recommending is actually good. You don’t have to message me, this is full transparency. It’s real. It’s good.
Sheer Health 100% authentically changed my life and that is the ONLY reason I am sharing it with you. It is the most value I’ve EVER gotten out of an app.
Here’s how I can best explain it to you: it is a concierge service that handles ALL of your medical claims, rejections, and deductions on behalf of you and your family. YES, INCLUDING YOUR CHILDREN. All you have to do is link your health insurance portal and upload your receipts- and they submit past and current claims to insurance with all of the proper codes.
Since downloading the app 6 weeks ago, they’ve helped me reclaim $1600 in acupuncture and psychotherapy medical bills. They also go through all of your past claims and resubmit any that were incorrectly filed and/or rejected (see above).
I don’t have to tell you about the financial toxicity that comes with a cancer diagnosis, it really adds insult to injury. But this app will help. A lot.
I learned about this service through a dear friend who has been spending thousands of dollars per month on her son's medical care. She was receiving denials that she knew were simply on a technicality; she knew her services were covered but didn’t know how to appeal. She downloaded Sheer Health and they reclaimed tens of thousands of dollars on her behalf.
Okay, spiel over! If I haven’t convinced you thus far, I don’t know what else to say! I love to find tools that are helpful in organizing and advocating on our behalf.
And the best news is that it’s one of the few things that I actually like that doesn’t seem to cause cancer. Share with your friends, even the healthy ones :).
Yours truly,
Marcella
P.S. Comments are a great section to share your own life-changing hacks!
Incredible. I’ve experienced so much wasted time and turmoil with the claims process. I was denied 30 sessions of acupuncture in 2022 which was treatment year and the year I had my third daughter. I believe that unless you file claims on time the chances of rejection sky rocket despite your plan or coverage. $40 a month is nothing compared to what you likely gain back. Hooray for creative new companies making life just a fraction easier for cancer patients (because honestly I was not filing weekly claims when I had a newborn and chemo to contend with).
