Here’s a few of the transcription:
Traci Brown: Angel, thank you a lot for beginning Fraud Busting! You are simply a fireball of energy from what I can inform. I can’t wait to delve into a few of what you’re doing. Now, you are a household nurse specialist turned medical scams detective. Inform me, what do you do all the time?
Angel Celucci: Now, really I teach individuals how to do what I did. I have actually remained in health care, I state I’ve remained in health care my entire life considering that I was13 I started as a sweet striper.
Traci Brown: Oh yea!
Angel Celucci: I’m mindful. I do not state sweet stripper. That remained in my 20s.
Traci Brown: Careful about that. (Laughing).
Angel Celucci: I am! Ended up being a nurse. Nursing is simply in my core, and after that I ended up being a nurse professional. Then when I moved here to the Nashville 5 years back, I was presented to a lady, another nurse, who was examining for scams. I’m like, “Our health care market has scams? What are you discussing?” That was foreign to me. I had no concept. She began revealing me what she did, and I’m like, “Okay, I require to do that.” I did that for about 5 years now, and then I understood when I was looking at my numbers that what we are discovering, we discovered, looking at simply our information, 9 out of 10 of the costs we evaluated consisted of mistakes and are outright scams. Then a switch went off and I’m like: Wait a minute. Individuals do not understand this things. We’re working for the insurance coverage providers, who remain in bed with the health centers, and yet, they’re paying individuals like me to examine them. I’m like, who’s assisting the customers? Who’s assisting individuals who are footing the bill or the uninsured individuals? Now I transitioned into examining in the medical scams and now I desire to teach individuals how to do what I do. That’s sort of my shift, so now I’m more on– we still examine for scams, however my objective today is to more so teach each and every single individual I understand how to secure themselves from scams.
Traci Brown: Oh, wow! Okay. Are you, simply to clarify, are you training individuals to do your task, like profession course things, or simply routine individuals who occur to have a healthcare facility expense that they require to pay. Like what side are you on or are you doing both?
Angel Celucci: Nope. I simply wish to teach, like you. I wish to teach your pals. I wish to teach your moms and dads. I wish to teach anyone, I state nonelderly, mainly uninsured individuals or individuals with high deductibles, underinsured. I state nonelderly due to the fact that as soon as you strike 65, individuals are generally on Medicare and they tend to not be as interested in their medical costs. No, I desire to assist my kids who are in their 30s. I desire to assist my next-door neighbors. I wish to assist individuals. Now, if someone wishes to be trained to do what I do so that they can then teach more individuals, sure. My entire objective is to put the health care system back in the hands of the individuals.
Traci Brown: Ahh!
Angel Celucci: Not those business CEOs, lobbyists. Among my preferred quotes is “Power ought to never ever remain in the hands of so couple of and powerlessness in the hands of a lot of.”
Traci Brown:. Yea.
Angel Celucci: Kind of switch that and make individuals more informed and more empowered customers of health care. I keep stating customer, Traci, since to me, even the word client is disempowering.
Angel Celucci: You understand, client is passive. I desire individuals to understand, you’re the CEO of your body. Let’s own it. We trade for whatever else in our life, and we understand the rates on whatever else, and we’re permitted to question everyone else, whether it’s at the supermarket or the cars and truck dealer, any person, we’re enabled to concern, however we’re not permitted to question the health care system. And absolutely nothing is more crucial than our bodies.
Traci Brown: You can’t even get a cost on anything. How in the world is this legal even?
Angel Celucci: Well, I was going to state, it’s illegal. From what we understand of legal and illegal, we would state it’s illegal. There are no policies. No one controls what the medical facilities can charge. Here’s the important things, I do not have a beef with companies. I’m a supplier. Suppliers do not even understand. When you go to your medical professional’s workplace and you state, “How much is this going to cost me?”, they actually do not understand. They do not understand up until they put it in their system, and it’s based upon your insurance coverage and all of that type of things. My beef is with the healthcare facility administrators, the CEOs, the lobbyists, all those individuals who have what’s called a charge master. Are you knowledgeable about the charge master?
