On today's episode of Healthcare Simplified, Jeff Toewe, CEO of Medxoom, joins us to talk about healthcare transparency and the state of healthcare delivery today.

And you don't know if your cost is reasonable. That's a transparency problem. And it's where Medxoom comes in. They help members discover and have intelligent conversations about what a service should cost before it's delivered.
