I Know the Road — I’ve Walked It Too

I help people across the U.S. save thousands on healthcare by sharing real patient stories, tools, and resources that actually work. After decades navigating chronic illness and the U.S. healthcare system myself, I created Health Savings Expert to turn lived experience into real healthcare savings for others.

What I Do

Guiding You Toward Your Goals & Aspiration

I’m Sally Figueroa — a mom, a chronic illness advocate, and the founder of Health Savings Expert, a growing platform built on real patient stories and real healthcare savings.

For millions of people living with chronic illness, the financial side of healthcare is often as draining as the illness itself. Hidden costs, denied claims, surprise bills, and confusing insurance rules can turn routine care into a constant budget crisis.

Health Savings Expert exists to change that. Our aim is to create a movement that helps people generate millions of dollars in healthcare savings by sharing what actually works — what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what I’ve learned along the way.

My Vision

A world where people facing chronic illness have access to real savings tools, real stories, and a supportive community — and no one has to navigate the healthcare system alone.

My Mission

To empower people living with chronic illness to lower their healthcare costs, protect their care, and help others do the same by sharing real-life experiences, tools, and resources through Health Savings Expert.

Your health may be a challenge, but it is not your identity. Take charge, advocate for yourself and never let illness define your potential to live fully.
