How to Fight Insurance Claim Denials | Dr. Terry Adirim

Most people only learn how their health insurance really works after they get a bill they didn't expect. Physician executive and former federal health leader Dr. Terry Adirim has seen the system from the inside—running healthcare for nearly 10 million people. She shares what every patient should understand about their plan before a claim gets denied, the steps to fight back when it does, and how often pushing back actually works. She also covers how to coordinate care across specialists, what AI in medicine means for patients, and one policy change that could make healthcare easier for everyone. This conversation gives you practical tools to protect your health and your finances. Khudania Ajay (KAJ) leads the conversation.
