from Out of Patients with Matthew Zachary

Health literacy is financial literacy, and even after working grueling hours in the ER and managing burnout, Jess takes to TikTok to proffer tips, tricks, shortcuts, loopholes, and sometimes basic civics to her millions of followers. Did you know you have negotiating power over your bill if your hospital is a nonprofit? Did you know that your credit score can be affected by financial toxicity? Probably not. eCommJess is the expert you never knew you needed to untangle yourself when healthcare (or anything else) comes to mess up your life.
