My FIL ran his own prosthetics and orthotics business for a couple decades and then had to shutter his doors due to all the insurance provider red tape. If all the Ts weren't crossed, or Is not dotted - denied. And the appeals/resubmission process was, IMHO, deliberately drawn out to deter anyone from doing it. US healthcare and insurance is such a shit show, but I digress. He now works for the VA, making much less - but at least he's still helping people and working in his field.
Glad to see something like that taking shape, and hopefully helping other small businesses (and larger too) get a leg up on these insurance companies. As well, of course, avoiding real-world medical dangers as you've mentioned.
Kudos on launching.
