ABOUT BEANS

Jason founded Rising Medical Solutions in 1999 as a two-person medical cost containment company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.  Now it’s one of America’s fastest growing companies and has hundreds of passionate, purpose-driven employees nationwide who have removed billions of dollars in waste from our healthcare system.
