Personal Details

Bio

As CEO of Healora, I currently manage the rebooting of healthcare technology which reduces costs by implementing transparency. Healora eliminates the costly administrative middle layers to connect doctors and patients in a binary relationship. The Direct Pay Healthcare model saves up to 70% on healthcare procedures for patient & doctor. My background is a serial entrepreneur having owned, operated and exited multiple businesses. My education includes an MBA from USC and a B.A. in Economics from The University of Tennessee.

  • Thomas Farmer is one of the top opinion leaders in America when it comes to disruptive healthcare principles. His talk on why we should all consider Pre Paid cash pricing over insurance is mindblowing.

  • I had the pleasure of interviewing Thomas at last year's Global Crowdfunding Convention and he is a great speaker and he gives a great interview. He is a true subject-matter expert and he is full of passion. He's welcome back anytime on ForbesBooks Radio!

  • Tom first spoke at our Ideas LA event in Santa Monica at the Broad Stage. His enthusiasm and informative style helped his company capture a trophy. The next year we had a special event downtown where Tom shared his mission with the group. The crowd was very interested in learning more. He's a good speaker to convey ideas and answer questions with clear pictures. I heartily endorse him!
