Dr. Grant Stevens welcomes BuildMyHealth CEO Jonathan Kaplan to the show!

A plastic surgeon who earned his fellowship covering facial trauma in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Jonathan saw firsthand the value of creating a mutually beneficial price transparency solution for providers and patients alike.

Today, that solution is known as BuildMyHealth. By combining price transparency and lead generation in a consumer-facing price estimator, practice websites allow patients to check their real-time eligibility and out-of-pocket cost specific to their insurance, and even the cash rate. The patient’s insurance and contact information is then sent to the provider for follow up but also, through an API, the information can be pushed to an EHR or RCM platform of choice, thereby reducing the burden on front and back office staff.
