Hi, I'm Brandon
Son of Cambodian refugees, healthcare innovator, and advocate for cost transparency
I was born and raised in Long Beach by a family who bravely rebuilt their lives here after escaping the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Their strength taught me resilience, but our healthcare journey also taught me about systemic flaws and the dread of unexpected medical bills.
When I was 24, I lost my dad to cancer. The gut-wrenching part of that story is how the fear of crippling medical debt delayed him seeking care until it was too late. This isn't just my story; it's the story of too many who feel powerless against opaque healthcare costs.
That experience—that feeling of helplessness—ignited a decade-long drive in me. I've dedicated my entire career in healthcare to expanding access, from hospital robotics to AI for disease detection. But the feeling that I hadn't done enough to tackle the core issue of cost uncertainty led me to this moment.
Introducing Claimformant
For the past 18 months, I've poured my energy into building Claimformant—software designed to accurately estimate what you should actually pay for hospital visits, surgeries, and other medical procedures.
My mission is to empower people with this information before the shock of an invoice. No more surprises. No more delaying care out of fear. Just transparency.
Why This Matters
Healthcare costs shouldn't be a mystery. My father's story taught me that when people can't predict costs, they delay care—sometimes with devastating consequences.
After a decade in healthcare technology, I realized that all the innovation in the world means nothing if people can't afford to access it. Claimformant bridges that gap by providing upfront cost transparency.
How Claimformant Helps
Hospital Bill adjudication: Know what you should really pay
Accurate Predictions: Algorithms trained on real healthcare data for precision
Informed Decision-Making: Compare costs across providers and procedures
Peace of Mind: No more surprise bills or delayed care due to cost fear
My Promise to You
I understand the fear and uncertainty that comes with healthcare costs because I've lived through the worst-case scenario. My family's strength in rebuilding after the Khmer Rouge taught me that knowledge and preparation are the most powerful tools. Claimformant is my way of giving you those tools—so you never have to choose between your health and your financial future.
