Podcasts about Cigna

In our modern world of online “social” networking, we are in some ways more connected to one another today than ever before in human history. Yet the reported rates of loneliness are at an all time high: 60% amongst Gen X, 65% for Millennials, and as many as 67% of Gen Z report feeling lonely “often” (Cigna, 2025). Where can we turn for real connection? First, we go to God (Ps 73:23). But second, we turn to - and fold into - God's people, the Church, His prescription for our loneliness. We invite you to do just that during this sermon, and join us as we discover how “God's Community is the Cure for the World's Disconnection”.

En los estertores de un ejercicio de bolsa idílico para los alcistas en el que las bolsas están dando continuidad a la tendencia alcista iniciada en los mínimos de abril, que ha llevado a algunos índices a revalorizarse hasta un 60%, cada vez resulta más complicado operar y, sobre todo, encontrar oportunidades de inversión con una ecuación rentabildad/riesgo atractiva. No obstante, siempre se pueden encontrar motivos para seguir pensando en incrementar la exposicioón a bolsa si es que se tiene baja o lejos de los niveles recomendados para un momento de mercado como el actual. Uno de ellos es el conocer, de manera más que fehaciente, los niveles que no deben perderse bajo ningún concepto en una eventual corrección o caídaSe trata del nivel de ajuste del 23,6% de Fibonacci de todo el rally, que a día de hoy se encuentran los 23.900 puntos del Nasdaq 100 y en los 6.430 del S&P 500. "Mientras no se perforen esos niveles, el rally se mantendrá vivo y no habrá motivos para reducir la exposición a bolsa", explica Joan Cabrero en el último episodio del podcast Estrategia de mercado. "Todo lo contrario, caídas que se acerquen de nuevo a esa zona de soporte tan importante, las veríamos como oportunidades para comprar"."La música sigue sonando y, además, el mercado ya ha hecho concesiones claras. Muchas grandes tecnológicas han corregido desde máximos relevantes caídas del orden del 15% al 30%. Hablamos de compañías líderes, con negocio, caja y posición dominante, como Nvidia, Oracle, Microsoft, Advanced Micro Devices, Amazon, Palantir o Zscaler, entre otros valores de crecimiento, además de zafiros azules como Cigna o Arista Networks."Operativamente, lo que estoy sugiriendo es actuar ya con método. Iniciar posiciones comprando un primer tercio del lote habitual aprovechando las caídas ya vistas en esos valores", destacaba el experto en su último comentario estratégico. "Si el mercado decide ir un paso más allá, se podría incorporar un segundo tercio. Y el tercer tercio solo lo contemplaría cuando el mercado confirme que quiere retomar las alzas y dejar atrás definitivamente el susto", sentencia.

UNC Health and Cigna have yet to come to an agreement on a contract renewal. While they continue negotiating, real people are finding ways to navigate potentially life-saving procedures without spending an exorbitant amount of money. WRAL's Shaun Gallagher spoke with one woman ahead of her scheduled hysterectomy on Tuesday. Plus, what we know about insurance company contracts with healthcare providers across the state.

Teenagers today are more "connected" than ever—and also more alone than ever. In this episode, I break down what researchers are calling a teenage loneliness epidemic and how it's quietly shaping our kids' emotional, social, and spiritual health. Large global studies show that about 1 in 9 adolescents worldwide report feeling lonely "most of the time" or "always." Long-term data also shows that by 2018, high loneliness levels in adolescents had nearly doubled compared to 2012. In the U.S., young people hold some of the highest loneliness rates of any age group, with one national report showing 61% of young adults experiencing "serious loneliness." We'll also get into the conversation around a "male loneliness epidemic." Some recent findings show men ages 15–34 report higher day-to-day loneliness than women the same age, even though overall, large-scale research suggests gender differences in loneliness are actually quite small. So what does that mean for your son—or your daughter? In this episode, I talk about: What's really driving the rise in teen loneliness (and why it's not as simple as "social media = bad"). How our parental habits—pace, expectations, emotional modeling—can unintentionally deepen the problem or help solve it. Practical, realistic ways to create connection with teens who seem withdrawn, prickly, or hard to reach. How boys and girls experience loneliness differently, and what each needs from the adults in their lives. How to offer yourself compassion as you learn new ways of showing up for your teen. This isn't about guilt. It's about naming what's real, supporting families with compassion, and giving you tools that bring connection back into the relationship. I'd love to chat with you about how this is playing out in your home. Book a free call HERE References 1. World Health Organization (WHO). (2021).

Mike Hoxter, CTO of Lightbeam Health Solutions, is focused on applying AI to population health management by using predictive models to enhance risk stratification for organizations with value-based care contracts. He emphasizes the importance of integrating social determinants of health along with clinical data to create more accurate predictive scores for patient outcomes, such as reducing hospital readmissions. AI enables a model to incorporate diverse data to derive more fine-tuned, actionable predictions. Mike explains, "We're really all for optimization in value-based care plans and care management. That's really our bread and butter, which is a pretty wide net. So we have a lot of large provider organizations in either CMS MSSP, ACO REACH, or a wide range of value-based care contracts with a lot of the commercial players. The Blues, Humana, Cigna, and Aetna all have value-based care plans that they have contracts with providers. So, optimizing for performance in those contracts. Anybody who works within those is our main clientele. We also have payers that are administering value-based care plans and some hospital systems as well." "If you're good at preventative healthcare, you prevent a lot of unnecessary healthcare. And so risk stratification is something that we do a lot of, and we use a lot of the standard models out there. We have Johns Hopkins embedded into our application. We have all of the different HCC models for Medicare Advantage, CDPs for Medicaid, but then also we have a suite of internal machine-learning-based models, which, I think, is funny - we've gotten to a point where there's such a thing as traditional AI, which is what it's called." #LightbeamHealthSolutions #PopulationHealth #ValueBasedCare #VBC #VBCEnablement #AI #SDOH #RemotePatientMonitoring #Providers #Payers #ACO lightbeamhealth.com Download the transcript here

On this 3d long-form edition of #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, Jim Joyce and I had the privilege of sitting down for an unforgettable deep dive with Tim Wentworth, the candid, thoughtful, fiercely grounded and recently retired CEO of Walgreens (previously CEO of Evernorth Health Services). Tim's story reads like a masterclass in leadership and life itself - from sweeping parking lots in Rochester to leading global healthcare giants like Cigna's Evernorth and Walgreens. Across nearly two hours (and honestly, we could've gone four), Tim brought raw honesty, wisdom, and humor to every story - from his early scholarship thanks to a teacher who believed in him, to leading multi-billion dollar companies but always defining what it means to lead with heart. This is not just a leadership interview - it's a living case study in resilience, humility, and purpose.

Join us for a deeply human and candid conversation with someone who has mental health experiences from every angle. Melissa Fors Shackelford is a healthcare executive and the author of the Amazon #1 Best Seller, Harnessing Purpose.While Melissa is known for building compelling brands and advising Fortune 100 leaders, her path to purpose was forged through personal adversity. In this episode, we normalize the conversation on family mental health and substance abuse as Melissa shares:The Impact of Family Adversity: How growing up with family members affected by substance abuse profoundly shaped her life choices, empathy, and career path.The Power of Experience: Her invaluable perspective gained from working at institutions like Hazelden Betty Ford and how it taught her about the complexity of mental health and recovery.The Vital Tool: The role of journaling as a non-negotiable practice for processing difficult emotions and finding clarity in the face of chaos.Making the Leap: What inspired her to leave behind a high-level corporate career (at Optum, Cigna, etc.) to bet on herself and build her own purpose-driven consulting practice, Shackelford Strategies.Breaking the Barrier: Why making yourself available to ask for help is the most crucial step in activating your support circle and fostering true mental resilience.Melissa brings a rare blend of corporate expertise and personal vulnerability, proving that leading with integrity requires you to first understand and embrace your own story. This episode offers essential encouragement for anyone seeking to blend their personal challenges into a foundation for meaningful impact.Support the showHave a question for the host or guest?

Her mission remains clear: to reimagine healthcare and create healthier outcomes and lives.Things You'll Learn:Legacy infrastructure hinders scalability; health plans require a modern administrative “chassis” to package benefits, administer payments, and operationalize innovation. This goes well beyond traditional claims systems.Analytics must merge claims, clinical, and engagement data with medical economics precision. Insights then have to reach providers and advocates so care is both effective and reimbursable.A significant amount of value now resides outside of claims in disease management, digital tools, and condition management programs. Members need clear navigation and transparency on what they have, where to go, and what it costs.Provider enablement is essential for value-based care. Success depends on aligned incentives, shared operations, coaching, and trust between plans and providers.Strategic investments should prioritize scalable administration, robust operations, and data pipelines. These foundations let plans attribute value, manage risk, and drive affordability at scale.Resources:Connect with and follow Lori Logan on LinkedIn.Follow NASCO on LinkedIn and explore their website.

Zack Kanter is the founder and CEO of Stedi, an API-first healthcare clearinghouse. After bootstrapping a wildly profitable auto-parts business, he sold it to tackle "the most complicated problem" he'd ever encountered: business-to-business transaction exchange. He spent years building EDI infrastructure, threw away the entire codebase eight times, and found extraordinary traction in healthcare. Stedi recently raised a $70M Series B co-led by Stripe and Addition. In this conversation, Brett and Zack discuss why venture capital means "going pro," why execution is never actually a moat, and how "eating glass" became Stedi's competitive advantage. In today's episode, we discuss: How 16-year-old Zack turned $2,500 into a wholesale empire Why bootstrapping means being "constrained by capital" and how VC removes that ceiling Why Zack rebuilt their EDI product eight times before launch The snake swallowing a deer: what extreme product-market fit really looks like What software companies can learn from discount retail and Toyota Why Stedi's new hires are told "everything's your fault now" And much more Where to find Zack: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zkanter Twitter/X: https://x.com/zackkanter Where to find Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson Where to find First Round Capital: Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast References: Aetna: https://www.aetna.com/ Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/ AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/ Blue Cross Blue Shield: https://www.bcbs.com/ Change Healthcare: https://www.changehealthcare.com/ Cigna: https://www.cigna.com/ Clay: https://www.clay.com/ Costco: https://www.costco.com/ Ford Motor Company: https://www.ford.com/ GM: https://www.gm.com/ HIPAA overview (HHS): https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/index.html Jeff Bezos: https://x.com/JeffBezos Kanban / TPS (Toyota): https://global.toyota/en/company/vision-and-philosophy/production-system Microsoft Teams: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-teams NetSuite: https://www.netsuite.com/ O'Reilly Auto Parts: https://www.oreillyauto.com/ Peter Thiel: https://x.com/peterthiel Porter's five forces: https://www.isc.hbs.edu/strategy/pages/the-five-forces.aspx "Reality has a surprising amount of detail": https://johnsalvatier.org/blog/2017/reality-has-a-surprising-amount-of-detail Slack: https://slack.com/ Stedi: https://www.stedi.com/ Summit Racing: https://www.summitracing.com/ Target: https://www.target.com/ Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ Zapier: https://zapier.com/ Timestamps: (01:24) Zack's first business (08:54) Why the first customer is tricky (10:12) The downside of bootstrapping (11:42) Why venture capital is like “going pro” (14:20) The confusion between ownership vs. control (16:08) Building a company you don't want to leave (20:46) Do things better than other people (24:49) Stedi's early years (31:43) Physical vs. digital product-market fit (34:41) How Stedi scaled decision-making (40:08) Stedi's journey to product-market fit (45:22) Finding founder-approach fit (50:42) “All software is a cascade of miracles” (52:52) The surprising lessons from discount retail (57:50) How the Toyota production system influences software (1:01:31) What it means to be a high-agency person (1:03:09) The core trait Zack looks for when hiring (1:02:57) Maintaining conviction in unconventional practice (1:14:19) When should you start to hire managers?

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a dynamic landscape of scientific breakthroughs, regulatory shifts, and strategic maneuvers reshaping the industry.BioMarin's recent decision to divest from its hemophilia A gene therapy, Roctavian, has garnered significant attention. Despite being the sole approved gene therapy for hemophilia A, Roctavian has struggled with sales since its launch two years ago. This move underscores the complex challenges in commercializing gene therapies, highlighting that even groundbreaking treatments can face hurdles in market penetration. It reflects broader implications for the commercialization strategies of innovative therapies and emphasizes that market acceptance is as crucial as clinical efficacy.In manufacturing and regulatory affairs, Regeneron is navigating hurdles with its Eylea HD due to persistent manufacturing issues. The FDA's complete response letter points to ongoing problems at a Novo Nordisk plant. This situation illustrates the critical role of manufacturing standards in securing regulatory approvals and ensuring consistent product availability. Regeneron's efforts to seek alternative manufacturing solutions emphasize the importance of compliance and quality assurance in the pharmaceutical landscape.Roche is advancing its kidney disease portfolio with a Phase 3 trial success for Gazyva against idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. Building on previous approvals for lupus nephritis, this achievement underscores Roche's strategic focus on expanding indications for existing biologics. It highlights the value of lifecycle management strategies in maximizing therapeutic potentials and extending the reach of established drugs.A significant shift in pharmacy benefit management is underway as Cigna's Evernorth division moves away from PBM rebates through Express Scripts. This transition towards a rebate-free model may influence industry-wide practices, addressing growing scrutiny over rebate structures criticized for their lack of transparency and their impact on drug pricing.CSL's decision to delay the spinoff of its flu vaccine unit amid declining U.S. immunization rates illustrates market challenges in vaccine uptake. The anticipated drop, particularly among older populations, raises public health concerns and underscores the necessity for enhanced outreach and education to improve immunization coverage.On the investment front, AbbVie, Regeneron, and Sanofi have collectively invested $80 million in ZAG Bio's Series A funding round. This company is developing thymus-targeted medicines for autoimmune diseases, reflecting continued interest in novel therapeutic approaches addressing unmet medical needs within the biotech space.Catalent's rebranding initiative signifies a strategic effort to align corporate identity with mission-driven objectives, emphasizing "missions that matter" as it approaches an anniversary milestone with Novo Nordisk's acquisition. Such rebranding efforts are critical for differentiating service offerings and reinforcing corporate values within competitive markets.The competitive landscape within diabetes and obesity treatment markets is experiencing a potential paradigm shift following the results from Innovent and Eli Lilly's Phase 3 trial of mazdutide. This dual GLP-1/glucagon receptor agonist outperformed Novo Nordisk's semaglutide, offering improved outcomes in weight reduction and glycemic control. Mazdutide's dual mechanism could redefine treatment protocols, offering patients enhanced therapeutic benefits.MapLight Therapeutics has successfully raised $250 million through an IPO to advance its schizophrenia treatment candidate, Cobenfy.

It's happening right now.Today we're talking about something that could be quietly draining your revenue, hurting your bottom line, and going completely unnoticed by your billing team: automatic downcoding of high-level E/M visits. This is a new policy from Cigna, and they're not alone. Other major payers—including UHC—are doing the same thing.

Send us a textAccess to healthcare in the U.S. is broken, with millions forced to choose between essential needs and seeing a doctor. Traditional clinics are too costly to scale, and telemedicine has hit adoption limits. In this episode of CareTalk, John Driscoll sits down with Karthik Ganesh, CEO of OnMed, to discuss how OnMed's “clinic in a box” is expanding access to care. Ganesh shares his journey across healthcare, why access has always been his passion, and how OnMed's innovative care stations blend the trust of in-person visits with the scalability of telemedicine to address one of the nation's most pressing healthcare challenges.

John discusses a collection of Trump-related stories. First, Trump says he had no knowledge of an Israeli attack on Hamas headquarters in Doha, Qatar where at least 5 lower level Hamas fighters were killed. Second, Trump and Kristi Noem's Hyundai ICE raid has cause major economic backlash. Third, Bill Gates, Tim Cook, and Mark Zuckerberg kissing up to Trump at his big Remodeled Rose Garden party. And fourth, Trump telling West Point to cancel Tom Hanks' military award event. Then, he interviews Ryan Clarkson, founder and managing partner of Clarkson Law Firm who is overseeing the firm's innovative AI litigation practice. Experts at Clarkson Law Firm have been representing numerous patients and their families in legal fights against insurers like UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Humana, exposing how, due to AI's denial of claims, elderly patients have been unable to access and afford the very same care their doctors have ordered, leading to some even passing away due to being denied medical care.

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence.On today's episode, we're joined once again by Melissa Fors Shackelford, health marketing strategist, accomplished consultant, renowned keynote speaker, and now Amazon's #1 bestselling author with her new book, “Harnessing Purpose: A Marketer's Guide to Inspiring Connection.” Host Sara Payne leads a deep-dive conversation into the essential role of purpose in marketing, exploring how both personal and brand purpose are at the very heart of meaningful work and, crucially, business success.Melissa draws on two decades of shaping brand and growth strategies for healthcare organizations, including Optum, Hazelden Betty Ford, and Cigna's Evernorth, to share why connecting our personal “why” with the organizational mission isn't just aspirational, but also practical, powerful, and profitable. Together, Sara and Melissa unpack the realities of burnout and the so-called “soul-selling” reputation that sometimes haunts the marketing profession, contrasting it with Melissa's own purpose-driven approach. The episode explores how leaders and organizations can avoid performative platitudes, instead cultivating authentic, values-aligned cultures that foster engagement, resilience, creativity, and tangible business outcomes.Whether you're feeling disconnected from the “why” of your day-to-day or are a marketing leader looking to inspire deeper commitment within your team, today's discussion is packed with actionable guidance, real-world examples, and candid advice on harnessing purpose for both individual fulfillment and organizational growth.Key Takeaways:Aligning Personal and Brand Purpose Unlocks Engagement and Performance: Melissa emphasizes that the most effective marketing and the most fulfillment for marketers happens when personal purpose aligns with brand values. Marketers who understand both their own “why” and their organization's mission are more resilient, creative, and motivated, producing authentic campaigns that resonate internally and externally.Purpose-Driven Companies Outperform Competitors: The episode isn't just about feel-good motivation Melissa cites research (from the likes of HBR and Deloitte) that shows 85% of businesses with a clear purpose see sales increase, while 42% without purpose see stagnation or decline. Purpose-driven organizations attract like-minded employees and customers, resulting in higher engagement, loyalty, and performance.Authenticity and Consistency Are Essential to Building Trust: Saying the right things isn't enough; posting values on lanyards or walls without truly living them can actively erode employee and consumer trust. Melissa and Sara discuss why it's critical for leadership to model values and use them as a filter for decisions from hiring to service delivery, especially in high-stakes sectors like healthcare.Purpose as a Decision-Making Filter Empowers Employees: The ultimate goal is for every employee to use company purpose and values as a guide in daily and “in the moment” decisions, especially when leaders aren't around. This means purpose isn't just strategy, it's culture, empowering staff with clarity and confidence, and fueling both psychological safety and creative risk-taking.Marketing Can and Should Be a Force for Good: Melissa challenges marketing's manipulative stereotype by sharing real healthcare examples where marketing ethics and mission-driven approaches protect vulnerable populations and foster positive change. She encourages all marketers to use their role for good, highlighting the growing importance of authenticity in both B2C and B2B environments.To connect with Melissa Fors Shackelford or learn more about her bestselling book, visit harnessingpurpose.com or reach out on...

"I think my media roles have resulted in trust, but that's not why I got into it. I got into it because what an incredible platform to have... to educate the public. On average, about 80,000 people at a time." When Dr. Archelle Georgiou was in clinical practice, she did the math: 15 patients a day for 30 years. The number didn't feel impactful enough. So this Johns Hopkins-trained physician made an unorthodox choice—leaving patient care to join the very managed care industry that frustrated her, determined to fix the system from within. From associate medical director at Cigna to leadership at UnitedHealth Group, Dr. Georgiou discovered that sometimes the best way to heal healthcare is to understand how it's financed and delivered. But her most powerful platform came through an unexpected channel: television. For over 16 years and 2,000 segments, she's been translating complex medical information for millions, becoming a trusted voice in America's living rooms. When COVID-19 struck and the world watched Johns Hopkins count cases and deaths, Dr. Georgiou saw what was missing: real-time hospital data. In one weekend, she and a colleague built what the entire healthcare system hadn't—a national hospital tracking dashboard that informed policymakers, appeared in major publications, and generated 12 peer-reviewed studies. In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Dr. Georgiou reveals: Why America's "paternalistic culture" makes us listen to doctors—and why we need to listen more critically How she went from treating 15 patients daily to educating 80,000 people at a time The weekend project that solved COVID's biggest data gap when no one else would Why managed care's influence on healthcare delivery shocked even an industry insider How creating annual strategic business plans for yourself can drive reinvention What really determines impact: degrees and titles, or understanding your core talents Why solving patient care problems remains her "true north" across every role From humble beginnings with parents who didn't finish elementary school to becoming a national medical correspondent, board member, and strategic advisor, Dr. Georgiou proves that maximizing your impact sometimes means leaving the traditional path behind. "Every single year I work with myself to create a strategic business plan," she shares. "A $10 million business has a business plan every single year. So why don't you?" A calculated risk-taker who's never afraid to walk through doors that inch open, Dr. Archelle Georgiou continues to reinvent what it means to be a physician leader—one who measures success not in patients seen, but in lives transformed through education, advocacy, and evidence-based truth.

We live in a world that bombards us with advice, hacks, tips, and strategies for doing life and leadership “better.” But what if the real answer isn't more information, but more space?In this raw and soul-touching solo episode, Janet opens a new chapter of The Inner Edge podcast. She invites us into a more honest conversation about what it means to lead and live with our whole selves, especially when the outer performance doesn't reflect the inner truth.Drawing from her deeply human experiences with executive clients navigating everything from leadership pressure to divorce, burnout, and aging parents, Janet shares why the most powerful leadership work starts inside. And why space—not strategy, tools, or frameworks—may be the thing we're all craving the most.In this episode:Why Janet is reshaping The Inner Edge and what to expect in this new seasonHow too much advice can drown your inner voiceWhat real-life executive clients are actually struggling with behind the scenesThe emotional toll of performing while privately unravelingWhy space, not steps, is often what we truly need to growA powerful reminder that it's not just you, everyone is navigating something messyHow to reconnect with your inner truth and rediscover your "inner edge"The shift from performative leadership to soulful presenceAbout Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli has over 25 years of experience in executive coaching, leadership development, and talent strategy.

Former healthcare executive Wendell Potter reveals how insurance giants sacrifice patient care for profits and deploy deceptive tactics to fight reform.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1151What We Discuss with Wendell Potter:Wendell Potter was a healthcare insurance executive at Cigna and Humana, and became a whistleblower after witnessing Americans seeking healthcare at a fairground in animal stalls, revealing how profit motives override patient care.Insurance companies prioritize shareholder value over patient needs, with executives compensated primarily in stock, directly incentivizing them to deny claims and care to maximize profits.Companies create "front groups" with misleading names like "Healthcare America" to manipulate public opinion against healthcare reform, using fear tactics to protect industry profits.When denied coverage, patients should appeal decisions, enlist their doctors' help, and consider becoming a "squeaky wheel" through media attention, as companies often reverse denials when facing public scrutiny.There is growing bipartisan support for healthcare reform and breaking up massive healthcare conglomerates. By understanding your rights, documenting communications, and persistently appealing denials, you can better navigate the system while supporting meaningful change.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
