Ep.12 - Andy Schoonover I Healthcare Journeys I S2M Health Podcast
Meet Andy Schoonover 🎙️
After a deeply personal experience exposed the flaws of the U.S. health insurance system, Andy set out to build something better.
When his daughter suffered recurring ear infections and a ruptured eardrum, he followed every step “by the book”—only to receive an $8,000 bill later labeled “medically unnecessary.” That frustration became the spark for CrowdHealth, a more compassionate, peer-to-peer way to fund healthcare.
Today, CrowdHealth has funded 99.8% of member treatments, helping patients find the right doctors and pay their care bills without the red tape.
Before founding CrowdHealth, Andy served as CEO and Executive Chairman of VRI, one of the world’s largest telehealth monitoring providers, where he led a fourfold revenue increase and a successful sale to Pamlico Capital with a 9x return.
