Timothy Allen talks with Travis Bockenstedt.

Travis is a healthcare disruptor and the president and CXO of Pinnacle Advanced Primary Care. In this episode, he shares his personal journey that led him to challenge the traditional U.S. healthcare system, which began with a shocking $26,000 medical bill for an anxiety attack. He discusses the complexities of medical billing, insurance loopholes, and the lack of transparency in healthcare costs.

Travis dives into the concept of direct primary care, explaining how this model empowers patients by offering transparent pricing and direct access to physicians without the interference of insurance companies. He highlights the importance of preventive care and the need for a shift in how consumers approach healthcare decisions.

Travis advocates for a free market approach to healthcare, emphasizing the potential for significant savings and improved patient outcomes. He also touches on the challenges of educating consumers about alternative healthcare models and the need for systemic reform in the U.S. healthcare landscape.
