Episode Description

Guest: Neal Shah, Co-Founder, Counterforce Health

Have you ever had a medical claim denied for a procedure or service that should have been covered by your insurance? You are not alone. Yet, 99% of people choose not to appeal that denial because of the laborious, manual process required.

After going through this dehumanizing experience with his wife, Neal Shah decided to bring the power of automation to the good guys. Counterforce Health is a service that helps clients leverage the speed and efficiency of AI to prepare their denial letter in literally minutes. Find out more at www.counterforcehealth.org. 

Neal started his career as a hedge fund manager and pivoted to healthcare after the deeply personal experience of caring for his wife during her illness. He is the Founder and CEO of CareYaya Health Technologies, a social enterprise and applied research lab advancing health equity for aging populations and is also the Founder and Chairman of Counterforce Health. He serves as Principal Investigator on multiple federally-funded innovation grants and has recently authored the book, Insured to Death: How Health Insurance Screws Over Americans – And How We Take it Back.
