Medium Bio (100 Words)
Sean Walters is a strategist and builder focused on solving the medical debt crisis through education and automation. He is the founder of ClaimsValidated.com, a resource for appeal templates and guides, and ClaimsRank.com, a directory of top-rated patient advocates. Sean specializes in "defensible appeals" teaching patients how to use the same coding manuals and regulations insurance companies use, but turning the leverage back in the patient's favor. He provides the tactics and tools everyday people need to reverse unfair denials.
The "Angle" (For Podcast Hosts)
Sean is available to speak on:
- The "Pre-Certification" Trap: Why codes like CO-197 are exploding and how to beat them.
- Productizing the Fight: Why hiring a lawyer is often too slow, and why "do-it-yourself" templates are the future of patient advocacy.
- The Authority Ecosystem: How to build a defensible digital business in a high-trust niche like healthcare without being a doctor or attorney.
The Ecosystem
Sean operates three interconnected properties:
- SeanWalters.com: The central hub for strategy, industry analysis, and the "business of building" in the healthcare niche.
- ClaimsValidated.com: The product arm, offering downloadable appeal templates, guides, and educational bundles for patients.
- ClaimsRank.com: The industry leaderboard, ranking the best medical billing advocates, coding tools, and claim-related services.

Fast Facts & Industry Context
Use these statistics to add context to your story about the medical billing landscape.
- The Problem: Over 100 million Americans struggle with medical debt, and industry data suggests nearly 15% to 20% of all insurance claims are initially denied.
- The Friction: Most denials are automated. Most successful appeals are manual. Sean’s ecosystem bridges this gap by arming patients with "plug-and-play" arguments.
- The Methodology: We focus on intent-based resources. We do not offer generic advice; we offer specific rebuttals for specific denial codes (like CPT and ICD-10 conflicts).
