Imagine finding out that your doctor documented a growth in your breast and didn’t tell you about it. Imagine that growth being cancer. In this incredible conversation, Jessica and Brandon sit down with Jessica Baladad, a five-year breast cancer survivor, diagnosed at age 33! Now that she’s done beating cancer’s ass, she’s an advocate for others navigating the impossible field that is our US healthcare system. From $20k scans to demanding refunds, her experience will give you (chills) and insights on just how you can advocate for yourself and question everything. Jessica's journey, from being dismissed by her practitioner to becoming a staunch advocate for healthcare literacy and financial literacy, is nothing short of inspiring.
Learn about the No Surprises Act, how to audit your medical bills, hold insurance companies accountable and so much more. This episode is not just a testament to Jessica's resilience and determination, but a call to action - for everyone to be proactive about their health.
