"We did this survey with a third-party consulting group who talked to 2,000 brokers. Their perception was that 25% of bills are going to be balance bills; it's actually 3%."Is Reference-Based Pricing (RBP) still something that just creates endless problems for HR?My guest this week is Jeff Bak, CEO of Imagine360. Jeff brings 30 years of healthcare and private equity experience to the table, and he's leading the charge to rebrand and evolve RBP from a defensive "pay and defend" model into a comprehensive, full-stack alternative health plan.In this episode, we tackle the persistent broker misconceptions surrounding RBP, dissecting exactly why the actual balance bill rate is closer to 3% while plan savings average over 20%. We also explore how Imagine360 blends RBP with strategic direct hospital contracts (like Baylor and Northwestern) to give employees a seamless "PPO-like" experience without the inflated PPO price tag. Jeff also breaks down the reality of the No Surprises Act (NSA) and Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process, and why hospitals are currently winning the majority of those arbitration cases.If you are a benefits consultant or an employer looking to truly break away from the traditional "BUCA" networks, while ensuring your employees aren't stranded with unmanageable balance bills, this conversation is the reality check you need.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

Drawing from decades of experience creating immersive spaces for some of the world's most recognizable brands, Brian shares how thoughtful design can shape customer behavior, improve employee well-being, and strengthen emotional connections between people and places.The discussion explores everything from daylighting and glare control to adaptive retail strategies, operational efficiency, workplace comfort, and the evolving role of physical spaces in an increasingly digital world. Brian also dives into scalable design systems, hospitality-driven retail, sustainable reuse, and why great buildings must serve both the people inside them and the communities around them.It's an insightful look at how truly exceptional spaces don't just support business goals — they create memorable, human-centered experiences that people genuinely want to return to.More About Brian BucherSENIOR DIRECTORBrian is skilled at leading creative programs, using his keen understanding of marketing and business strategies.

"If we can do it for Whole Foods, which is a very large organization, why can't we do this for other employers?"Is the era of relying on national, opaque "BUCA" networks finally coming to an end?My guests this week are Blake Allison, CEO of Employers Health Network (EHN), and Philip Eaves, from Ascension. Together, they break down the exact blueprint they used to build a direct-to-employer, high-performance network for Whole Foods - and how they are scaling that exact same model for self-funded employers across the country.In this episode, we explore the hospital system's perspective on direct contracting. Phil explains why massive health systems like Ascension are eager to bypass traditional carriers to work directly with employers, citing faster payments, zero collection risk, and the ability to proactively manage patient care. We also discuss how to successfully integrate Direct Primary Care (DPC) into a localized network, the lessons commercial plans must learn from Medicare Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), and why the future of healthcare relies on "re-localizing" how we buy medical services.If you are an employer, benefits consultant, or healthcare provider who is fed up with the transactional, nickel-and-dime nature of traditional insurance carriers, this conversation proves that a better, more collaborative model already exists.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

Dążenie Karola Nawrockiego do organizacji referendum w sprawie zielonej polityki klimatycznej stanowi krok w dobrą stronę ze strony obozu prezydenckiego – jest to też przykład wywiązania się z obietnicy złożonej w kampanii wyborczej, w tym przypadku w umowie programowej z NSZZ „Solidarność”. Niestety wykonanie tego pomysłu przedstawia się jak na razie słabo – widać tu styl prowadzenia narracji kojarzący się z TVP czasów Jacka Kurskiego.

"I've got a patient in Washington state. He's traveling 100 miles every other week to receive an infusion.

We pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked and expensive categories in healthcare: Specialty Infusion Care. Because these drugs are administered by a medical professional, they are billed through the medical plan under "J&Q Codes" - subjecting them to massive hospital markups and "buy-and-bill" margin games.In this episode, Rob explains how Leap Health is solving this by taking over the supply chain, procuring the drugs transparently without margin, and redirecting patients to their own homes or convenient infusion centers. We discuss how these J&Q codes are often the hidden culprit behind breached stop-loss deductibles and skyrocketing renewals, and why shifting the site of care is a win for both the employer's budget and the patient's quality of life.If you're a benefits consultant trying to figure out why your client's medical spend is out of control, or an employer tired of paying massive hospital markups for necessary medications, you need to understand J&Q codes.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

“Show me an incentive structure and I'll show you human behavior... until employers realize they have more power than they give themselves credit for, this can't continue."My guest this week is Norm Volsky, Managing Partner at DRI and Founder of MVP Growth Partners. Norm has spent the last decade as one of the top executive recruiters in the digital health and employer benefits space - placing the commercial teams that helped build unicorns like Livongo and Hinge Health.In this episode, Norm explains why the next wave of healthcare innovation isn't about adding more "point solutions" to an already fatigued market. Instead, smart money is betting on companies that carve out high-margin, inefficient services directly from the major insurance carriers - like radiology, fertility, and specialty infusion.We discuss how Norm built an "army" of over 500 industry executives to crowdsource due diligence, why the traditional VC model fails in healthcare, and why employers and their benefits leaders are finally at a watershed moment where they must demand true fiduciary alignment from their vendors.If you want to know where the smart money is moving in employer healthcare, and why the "BUCA" carriers should be worried, this episode is a must-listen.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

Kult dąbrowszczaków – polskich ochotników walczących w Hiszpanii po stronie lewicy – był w PRL bardzo żywy. Widać to było choćby na przykładzie licznych nazw ulic, których po tzw. dekomunizacji jest dziś już – na szczęście – znacznie mniej. Po zwaleniu pomnika dąbrowszczaka, na pustym cokole stanął żołnierz wyklęty – walczący o wręcz przeciwną sprawę. W 10 lat po wprowadzeniu ustawy dekomunizacyjnej i 15 lat od ustanowienia 1 marca Dniem Pamięci Żołnierzy Wyklętych, warto przyjrzeć się współczesnemu kultowi partyzantki antykomunistycznej.

Hiszpania przyjęła prawo, na mocy którego legalizuje pół miliona nielegalnych migrantów. Kraj ulega gwałtownym przemianom etnicznym, już ponad 20% mieszkańców Królestwa stanowią obcokrajowcy, głównie spoza Europy. Nieprzypadkowo Hiszpanie coraz częściej deklarują wolę głosowania na antyimigracyjną prawicę. Pytanie jednak, czy wkrótce ich ojczyzna nie stanie się na tyle multietniczna, że już żadna partia deklarująca utrzymanie tradycyjnego modelu narodu nie będzie miała szans na przejęcie władzy.

Salvador Dalí jest artystą, o którym słyszał każdy, a jego obrazy, takie jak Płonąca Żyrafa, Trwałość pamięci, czy choćby logo lizaków Chupa Chups większość z nas jest bez problemu w stanie przywołać w myślach. To ikona surrealizmu i jeden z naj¬bardziej znanych twórców w historii sztuki. Jednocześnie, nieproporcjonalnie często, gdy tylko o nim mowa, podkreśla się jego rockandrollowy styl życia, ekscesy życia seksualnego – z kolei stosunkowo rzadko mówi się o tym, jakie były jego poglądy, a tym bardziej jakie wartości rzutowały na dzieła mistrza Dalego po jego nawróceniu. Przyjrzyjmy się twórcy, który całe swoje życie traktował jak artystyczny performance, łącząc w sobie cechy katolickiego mistyka oraz ekscentrycznego hedonisty, pro¬wokatora oraz tradycjonalisty, obywatela świata oraz przekonanego hiszpańskiego nacjonalisty.

The benefits market is flooded with solutions that promise innovation but deliver total chaos. They're built on "razor-thin margins" to chase top-line revenue, and the service inevitably collapses, leaving you, the broker, to clean up the mess and take the blame. It's a broken model that ruins your reputation.But what if you could offer a plan with the stability of a BUCA, the innovation of a tech company, and get a quote in 48 hours? My guest, Caleb Parker of Angle Health, joins me on The Broker's Voice to share his framework. We get into why Angle is built on an "AI-native" chassis to deliver precision underwriting, how they avoid the margin trap that kills other solutions, and why they can deliver a Jan 1st quote on Jan 10th. This is the game plan for finally having a stable, scalable alternative.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY
