Bethany Smith Email Address

Executive Vice President Finance, Chief Financial Officer

CDPHP is an insurance company which is a physician-founded and guided health plan.

"In 2018, I lost my father-in-law and assisted my mother-in-law with settling his estate by pulling his financial and legal information together. This experience made me realize that there is a need to assist seniors with organizing their financial and legal lives. This sparked the idea for BRPS Consulting." BRPS Consulting LLC was created to assist seniors in organizing their financial and legal lives to ensure that their wishes are documented and understood by their trusted individual(s), who will someday make decisions on the senior’s behalf. Too often this discussion happens too late and the senior’s wishes are unknown. The decision maker (not necessarily the senior's trusted individual) then makes decisions based on her/his own biases and wishes. Bethany Smith, CPA, CGMA has more than 30 years of experience protecting corporate financial assets, and more than 15 years understanding the complexity of the U.S. health care system. In addition, Bethany obtained her Masters in Psychology, where her capstone emphasized the importance of helping people understand the U.S. health care system. Protecting seniors’ financial assets, evaluating financial risk to seniors, and educating them on the U.S. Health Care system and how to protect themselves from elder fraud, are all a natural extension for this next phase of her career. Bethany has performed these services for her mother and mother-in-law for more than 5 years, learning the pitfalls, needed communications, and common gaps. Bethany understands that each person is unique and has different types of resources at her/his disposal. BRPS Consulting was created to help those individuals with low to mid net worth, who typically would think these services are out of their reach.
