Craig shares how his nonprofit model uses AI, CDMOs, CROs, and alternative funding to de-risk shelved therapies and transform them into treatments for patients with unmet needs. including context on systemic inequities and the human cost of stalled innovation. He describes a startling trend: when capital dries up or regulations shift, life-saving drug programs get shelved—not because of safety or efficacy issues, but due to dilution in business incentives. Among those left behind are rare disease candidates that patients and families know work, but simply become financially unviable. Martin joins us to unpack a pressing challenge in rare disease therapeutics: promising clinical‑stage drug programs that have been shelved—not for lack of science, but due to shifting capital and incentives. Through his nonprofit model at OTXL, he's pioneering an entirely new approach to rescue these assets and deliver real impact.

    From Prior Authorization Chaos to Clear AI Orchestration Prior authorization isn't just broken — it's unsynchronized. On this episode, Evan Martin, VP of Revenue Cycle Management at ZoomCare Inc as well as Host and Producer of The Wilshire's IT RevCast, shares what happens when real-time care delivery meets a fragmented, rule-heavy prior auth system that can't keep up. With just one authorization specialist covering 50 clinics, Evan paints a clear picture: today's healthcare moves fast, but prior auth is still stumbling through a maze of plan-specific rules, outdated workflows, and underperforming automation tools. We explore how even routine imaging, meds, and mental health services become tangled in conflicting payer policies and benefit silos. Evan breaks down the bottlenecks, the firefighting, and the policy blind spots — plus why simply layering automation on top won't fix it. The real opportunity? An orchestrated model powered by agentic AI triages, retrieves, and routes the right information to the right place — so human teams can actually focus on patient care. This isn't theory. It's the lived complexity of treating patients while waiting for permission — and what the future could look like if we finally got the process in tune.

    S3E8: What's Trending NOW is Social Determinants of Health: From Buzzword to Bottom Line Strategy. On this episode of Trending NOW, host Shahid Shah engages with Elizabeth Levy, Managing Director at AArete, to unpack the powerful business case for Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). Far from being just a feel-good initiative, Levy makes the case that SDOH must become a core payer strategy—cutting costs, improving outcomes, and strengthening risk adjustment. Drawing from AArete's work with over 100 health plans, she shares insights on how SDOH can be operationalized, why it's often misunderstood as "charity," and how advanced analytics and AI can transform SDOH from dashboard data into predictive, proactive care. Tune in to hear how progressive payers are unlocking value from SDOH—today, not someday.

    Revenue Cycle Optimized: From Fax to Future in Radiology Prior Authorization Workflows

    Faxed orders, scanned attachments, and inbox folders shouldn't be the reason prior authorizations are delayed. Yet for many radiology groups, that's still the case. Manual document capture creates friction at the front of the process—forcing staff to rename, sort, and route incoming faxes before a prior auth can even begin. In this episode, we explore how automating document capture accelerates the entire prior authorization workflow. From identifying STAT orders to extracting key order details and triggering auth submissions, we'll walk through how imaging centers are using AI-driven tools to minimize lag, reduce errors, and scale operations without burning out staff. Joining us is Charulata Nevatia, a healthcare product leader with deep experience in workflow automation. She'll share what high-performing radiology groups are doing differently and what steps you can take to modernize intake and boost auth readiness.
