Kith + Kin

Calling all Employers who wish medical records could all be in one place for your employees!! Kith + Kin's KinKeeper app is now a one stop shop for health information to help your employees deal with the chaos of managing fragmented health records for themselves and their loved ones. With KinKeeper, employees can import medical records from over 30,000 health systems nationwide, as well as store, organize and share all the information that exists entirely outside medical records. KinKeeper is a simple, comprehensive and fully portable solution (like a 401k for health) that isn't lost or frozen when your employees change insurance, providers or employers. By providing them a way to have all of their formation, all in one place, KinKeeper empowers your employees to be more effective consumers of healthcare and more impactful advocates for the people they care FOR and ABOUT. Please reach out to me directly at [email protected] to learn more. Thanks to Chris Fisher and BenefitsAlly for highlighting our work. https://lnkd.in/ekt2S3RY #digitalhealth #employeebenefits #hrbenefits #medicalrecords

Your actions speak louder than words, and integrity is what you do when no one is watching. Jill Michal of Kith + Kin reminds us that we can't talk ourselves out of behaviors we've acted into. This powerful advice emphasizes the importance of aligning our actions with our beliefs, ensuring consistency and clarity in both personal and organizational realms. Jill's insight highlights the significance of living by our values every day, not just when it's convenient. She points out the dangers of saying one thing and doing another, as it creates confusion and undermines trust. For her, staying true to oneself and one's beliefs is non-negotiable, and it's a principle that has guided her through her career. How do you ensure your actions reflect your core values? Have you ever struggled with this alignment? The #FoundersForum Radio Show and Podcast is streaming now, wherever you listen to podcasts! ?????

This post was inspired by one of our users who told us how he uses KinKeeper to track conversations with his provider and health insurance company when he's dealing with pre-authorizations and claims issues.

We’ve all been there. One kid has a fever, Grandma needs her blood pressure meds refilled, and suddenly the family group chat becomes a full-blown, chaotic medical hotline. Messages flying everywhere: “What time is Dad’s appointment?” “Who’s picking up the prescription?” “Wait, which allergy does Aunt Carol have again?” It’s like managing a mini hospital—but with zero organization and a lot more emojis. Next time, instead of sifting through 72 unread texts to find out if Grandpa’s lab results came in, just check KinKeeper - instant clarity without the endless notifications. And even better yet, you can share just enough info with the family without giving them the play-by-play of your entire medical history. So next time cousin Joe asks for the fourth time what meds your mom’s on, just kindly remind him to check KinKeeper instead of launching another text avalanche. It’s the digital age, folks—why are we still treating family health updates like a game of telephone? We’re here to help you reclaim your group chat for what it was meant for: memes, dog photos, and maybe the occasional birthday reminder. #digitalhealth #familyhealth Kith + Kin

I shamelessly stole this quote from one of our users who told us she uses KinKeeper so she's “not a complete disaster in case of a complete disaster.” Imagine you’re faced with a sudden health crisis—whether it's an accident, natural disaster, or unexpected medical emergency. In that moment, having medical history, medications, allergies, and key health data readily accessible could make all the difference. Plus, by staying even a little organized, you help your emergency contacts know what they need to know to navigate your healthcare needs more effectively in times of crisis. No one likes to think about worst-case scenarios, but preparing yourself today can make sure you're not a complete disaster in the face of one. It's about peace of mind for you and your loved ones. Don’t wait for an emergency—set up and periodically update Kith + Kin's KinKeeper so you can face life’s unexpected moments with confidence.? Take 5 minutes…Future You will Thank You.

Sign up for your patient portal **before** you leave the doctor’s office. Have you ever left a doctor’s appointment, only to realize later that you’re anxiously waiting for test results with no clear way to check them? Signing up for your patient portal before you leave the office can save you from this stressful experience. Your patient portal gives you direct access to your test results as soon as they’re available, without having to wait for a call back or another appointment. This is particularly important for a child. Sometimes as early as age 13 depending on the state or system-based privacy requirements, a provider won’t release information to a parent without the patient’s consent, sending you into a tailspin trying to figure out how to provide proof of identity to get it set up after the fact. Federal regulations mandate that providers post results “without delay”, meaning you may have access to your results before your doctor sees them. Whether you review them on your own or wait to go over them with your provider is your own decision, and it’s a good idea to consider your own anxieties in reviewing results without clarification.? So next time you get any testing done, simply ask how you’ll receive your results of the test. If they indicate you need to sign into the portal, don’t let the opportunity pass by—signing up before you leave and it will save you hours of frustration after the fact.

As parents age, adult children often find themselves stepping into roles that extend beyond just healthcare. One of the primary areas that require attention is managing their household. Aging parents, particularly those with early signs of dementia or cognitive decline, may struggle to keep track of payments, contractors and disputes and issues of all kinds. So here’s some good news for you: KinKeeper can help you keep track of all of the facets of your “caregiving” journey. Following are a few ways to use the app that go beyond the basics of healthcare: ?? Bills + Utilities: Create a topic in your parent(s) profile titled “utilities” and add notes for services like electricity, cable, water and gas with basic information like the company, account number, phone number or website and even a copy of a recent bill. ?? Contractors: Create a topic called Contractors and either make a note, take a pic of a business card or use the practitioner info type to add their contact information.?? ? Service Issues + Disputes: Create a note with information on who you (or they) talked to last, what you were told, and what needs to be done next to help you keep things straight and enable someone else to pick up where you left off. KinKeeper is the place for everything that doesn’t have a place, so take 5 minutes and get a list from your parents next time you talk.? Future You will thank you!? #agingparents #caregiving #kinkeeping #digitalhealth
