In this episode of The Uprising Show, we sit down with Kimberly Carleson, CEO of US Beacon, to uncover the hidden truths behind healthcare billing and the fight for transparency. Kimberly shares her personal journey, sparked by her husband's stage 4 cancer diagnosis and their firsthand experience with the flaws in the healthcare system. She reveals what drove her to take full ownership of US Beacon and make it her mission to tackle rampant overbilling. Listeners will learn why most employers are in the dark about their own benefit costs, the myths surrounding claims review processes, and the crucial steps every plan sponsor should take to bring genuine oversight into their health plans. Kimberly’s candid insights expose the misaligned incentives in the system, the secret world of hospital overcharges, and her vision for a future where billing transparency is the rule — not the exception.
