SimpleCare Co-Founder To Meet With  International Health Care Experts

The Korean Medical Association is inviting one of the founders of SimpleCare to exchange ideas with other prominent international figures in the health care industry later this month.

The forum is in the wake of a four-month strike of 60,000 Korean doctors.  The doctors blame low reimbursement among reasons for the strike.  Dr. David MacDonald started SimpleCare with the hope of combating similar problems in the American health care system.

MacDonald claims that low reimbursement by insurance companies is causing a “health care crisis” in the United States.  He asserts that skyrocketing costs paired with inadequate compensation are causing financial distress among health care providers, and that inflated prices are making health care unaffordable for uninsured patients.

MacDonald helped design the SimpleCare program in an effort to reduce the cost of health care for both patients and providers.   SimpleCare eliminates much of the paperwork and hassle associated with insurance and allows providers to charge a reduced fee for patients who pay in full at the time of service.  SimpleCare visits require no billing, insurance forms, or coding.  This dramatically reduces the cost of the visit, allowing the provider to charge considerably less and still come out ahead.

MacDonald will attend the international forum in Seoul on October 19 and 20.  For more information about SimpleCare, contact the SimpleCare office at 206-362-1111 or email membership@simplecare.com.
