Empowering You to Take Control of Your Healthcare Journey
At The SelfPay Sentinel, we’re here to help you navigate healthcare independently. With transparent information, empowering resources, and a supportive community, we’re revolutionizing the way individuals manage healthcare costs—one informed decision at a time.
Our Story
The SelfPay Sentinel was born out of a personal journey toward greater healthcare independence. In 2017, after the birth of their daughter in New York, James and Brielle’s monthly health insurance premiums skyrocketed to $1,200.
Frustrated by the rising costs of premiums and prescription drugs, they began exploring alternative options. Through thorough research and a commitment to financial transparency, they found a path that not only met their healthcare needs but also empowered them to save and invest in their future.
In 2018, they made the bold decision to transition to self-pay healthcare. Over the years, they experienced firsthand the challenges—and the rewards—of navigating healthcare without traditional insurance.
Inspired by their experience and the impact they had in their local communities, James set out to create content and resources to encourage others to consider self-pay healthcare as a viable option for managing healthcare costs. This journey ultimately led to the creation of The SelfPay Sentinel, an online resource offering content, coaching, and community, all dedicated to helping Americans take control of their healthcare through transparent, accessible, and reliable information.

Our Impact
Over the past six years, we’ve had the privilege of helping families and individuals within our communities transition from traditional health insurance to self-pay healthcare.
By sharing our personal experiences and the knowledge we’ve gained about the U.S. healthcare system, we’ve equipped those around us with the information and tools needed to manage their healthcare costs independently.
For those who weren’t quite ready to make the switch and preferred the comfort of their insurance, we provided guidance to help them maximize their benefits and minimize their out-of-pocket expenses. These experiences highlight the meaningful impact we’ve made in our communities—and now, with the full support of The SelfPay Sentinel and our growing online community, we’re ready to extend our reach even further!
