S06, Ep 03: Giving Healthcare a Destination, featuring David Mair
Whether it’s choosing a doctor, hospital or other medical provider, or paying for high cost prescription medications, health care is front and center in most of our lives these days. People are looking for solutions to spread their financial resources without sacrificing quality or skipping necessary care. It can feel like a rat race with no way out.
One of those solutions is something many of us are not aware of, something called destination medical care, the idea of traveling to medical center other than the closest one to come up with the best outcome, timely access to care and manageable costs. Where this was once seen as only for wealthy, individual patients, it’s now become a practical option for companies trying to manage benefit costs and individual patient alike.
Our guest today has taken this concept to the next level and not only made good care available to more people he’s found ways to make it affordable, available and practical.
So much of our lives are marked by special occasions: engagements, weddings, milestone birthdays and anniversaries and just plain important days.
Do you have a full-time job that pays the bills? Do wish you could do something else that would fuel a passion while earning extra money? My guest in this episode is Sue Moore who knows all too well what it means to find a “side hustle” to help s sometimes-depleted bank account. 
Do you know what a public insurance adjuster is? In this episode, meet Benny Write, an adjuster with Jansen International. He explains how he and his brethren can help you through the claims process with your insurance company. 
The first in a series we call “What If?” In this episode, we discover what you really need to know about insurance. Our guest, John Allen, is president and managing agent with Community Insurance Advisors. John’s mission is to set a new standard for the insurance industry. Here John walks us through a thought process of how we should engage an agent and get the most from our insurance policies. While many people buy insurance on price (whether it be for the house, car or business), most of us really have no idea what our policies cover. John clearly describes “all-risk” versus “named-perils” coverage, water endorsements and the difference between replacement and ACV (depreciated) claims settlements. 
Philip Goodrich introduces Claire to Google’s Jamboard, a multi-functional presentation device. Philip demonstrated the large-screen, interactive display live on Coffee With Claire. While it looks like a basic whiteboard, it features handwriting recognition, Google search integration, allows remote collaboration and meshes the best of web capabilities with video conferencing. Look for Jamboard on future Coffee With Claire episodes.
