Who it's for
US residents with healthcare administration, claims, or insurance-adjacent work experience who want to test an independent patient-advocacy practice with their own capital, before quitting a job or signing a lease.
About this playbook
A step-by-step plan for turning US healthcare administration or claims experience into a patient-side medical billing advocacy business. You will first find out whether anyone will actually pay you, and what they will pay, before you spend real money. Then you define the case you sell, run the numbers — startup costs, monthly costs, break-even, scenarios — and only after that register the LLC, buy insurance and open the bank account. The plan ends 90 days after your first paid case, with the real numbers read against the plan and a decision you agreed in advance. It does not cover provider-side billing services, coding certification, legal representation, or any promise of recoveries — and it tells you plainly when to stop.
