About MoneyWise Health

Hello, I’m Dr. Chung Yao Yu, and I wear many hats: an internal medicine physician, a patient, a father, and someone who’s deeply frustrated by our American healthcare system. Let me share my story with you.

A Journey of Healing and Frustration

In my twenties, life took an unexpected turn: I flew out of a bike at 20 miles per hour. I suffered a minor concussion and a back injury that left . A bike injury left me grappling with pain, uncertainty, and a seemingly endless maze of medical bureaucracy. For two long years, I navigated the system—limping through emergency rooms, deciphering cryptic medical bills, and shuttling between specialists. It was a marathon of frustration, and I felt like a pawn in a game where the rules kept changing.

The Turning Point

As a primary care physician, I’ve witnessed firsthand the struggles my patients face. The insurance plans’ rules change all the time, so do doctors, providers, and clinic offices. Many patients are often left confused and overwhelmed. But amidst this broken system, I realized something crucial: you are the ONLY constant in your health journey. No matter what happens to the healthcare system, your well-being remains at the center.

Our Mission

MoneyWise Health was born out of this realization. Here, we’re not just about medical advice or insurance jargon. We’re about empowering you—the patient—to take control, using your own insurance plans effectively. We are also about empowering you to eat and exercise better so that we can live better and healthier lives on our own, for the sake of us and our families. Even when policies change, your health matters. And it’s time to equip you with the knowledge, tools, and resilience to thrive.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Navigational Compass: Clear, practical guidance on understanding medical bills, choosing the right specialists, and maximizing your insurance benefits.
  • Stories from the Trenches: Personal anecdotes, both mine and yours, because shared experiences light the way.
  • Advocacy and Empowerment: Let’s challenge the status quo together. We’ll explore advocacy efforts, policy changes, and ways to amplify your voice.
  • Nutritional Advice: Let’s live a better and healthier life so that we don’t need to solely rely on medications or our healthcare system to be healthy.

Join the Movement

I invite you to be part of this movement. Let’s transform frustration into empowerment. Together, we’ll rewrite the narrative—one where you’re not just a patient but an informed, resilient advocate for your own well-being.

Welcome to MoneyWise Health. Let’s chart a healthier course, one step at a time.

Warmly, Dr. Chung Yao Yu
