The American healthcare system is complex, but two of the most urgent cost drivers offer places to start exploring possible reforms: prescription drug pricing and how providers are paid. In this episode, we examine the conflicting incentives at the heart of the U.S. healthcare system between insurers, providers, pharmaceutical companies, and patients. These competing priorities shape everything from access to care to drug affordability. Through conversations with healthcare experts, we unpack the role of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and compare fee-for-service and capitated payment models. PBM diagram referred to in the podcast: https://www.healthcarehuddle.com/p/drug-supply-chain. Healthcare policy articles by ScriptsPro CEO and journalist Ken Perez: https://www.hfma.org/author/ken-perez/.

“Functional medicine is slow cook, not fast food,” says Dr. Lara Salyer as she talks about the challenges of running a fee-for-service model in functional medicine. While it's a common approach, this model can struggle to support the ongoing, holistic care that functional medicine requires. Dr. Salyer emphasizes practical strategies, like booking follow-up appointments before patients leave and setting clear expectations for long-term treatment. She also highlights the value of using digital tools to keep patients connected between visits.   Beyond these tactics, Dr. Salyer explores creative options such as group visits and loyalty programs, which can increase patient motivation while fostering a sense of community and accountability. Are there areas in your practice where you could incorporate more of these ideas? Dr. Salyer encourages practitioners to be open to different models—whether it's fee-for-service, membership-based, or a blend—so they can create environments that truly engage their patients, leading to better care and a more rewarding practice.   Quotes “We have an initial tidal wave of enthusiasm when we open our practice, because anybody that is into health and wellness is curious and they'll book appointments with you. But after that initial tidal wave of interest, we often have this shrinking of our revenue, and not as many patients making appointments. That's an opportunity to look at your systems and see where we can make improvements that will lead to more revenue and patient flow.” (01:54 | Dr. Lara Salyer)  “You have to be proactive in scheduling. There's no two ways about it.” (04:33 | Dr. Lara Salyer) “Functional medicine is slow cook, not fast food. It's much like you would envision seeing a physical therapist. They're not going to teach you your exercises once and then say bye-bye. They usually want you to come back, reassess the pain, the mobility, check your form, see if those exercises still apply, and maybe give you new ones. It's the same exact thing.” (06:18 | Dr. Lara Salyer) “Use digital tools as much as you can. Start curating a private video archive of online classes. They can do some of that heavy lifting for you in between office visits. So patients feel supported, and they feel less embarrassed that they don't know anything.” (09:24 | Dr. Lara Salyer) “You deserve to have the practice of your dreams, whether it is fee-for-service, membership, packages, whatever works for you. And let's borrow Lego company's mission, which is to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow. That is you, my friend. You are a catalyst, and you are transforming healthcare.” (15:35 | Dr. Lara Salyer)    Links Brainstorm: https://drlarasalyer.as.me/discovery Catalyst Advantage 1:1 session (use "LISTENER" code for discount!): https://drlarasalyer.as.me/advantage   Connect with Lara:  Website: https://drlarasalyer.com The Catalyst Way: https://drlarasalyer.com/catalyst Instagram: @drlarasalyer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drlarasalyer Linked-In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drlarasalyer/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DrLaraSalyer TikTok: @Creativity.Doctor   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

This encore episode is with Amy Scanlan, MD. It was, in fact, one of our most popular episodes of the past year. It is still just as relevant today in a slightly different way. It's interesting how things which were said maybe a year ago have shades of meaning which become evident as time goes on. So, I liked this show a lot in the second listen with the advantage of time passing. To read the show notes with mentioned links and a transcript, head over to our site. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Complicating fact of current life, it's becoming increasingly obvious that in order to stand up a practice that can take advantage of value-based care payments—payments where primary care docs mainly at this time can get paid more and likely more fairly to care for patients well—you need a lot of infrastructure. You need data, you need tech, you need a team. Translation: You need money, maybe a lot of money, to invest in all of this. These are the external realities that hit anyone trying to do right by patients from every direction. But on the other hand (or maybe different fingers on the same hand), as Dr. Amy Scanlan says in this healthcare podcast, physicians are the backbone of this system. Dr. Scanlan talks in the interview today about the opportunity, and maybe the responsibility, that physicians have here for patients; but also the Eric Reinhart article comes up again about rampant physician moral injury (unpaywalled link with my compliments). Right now might be a great time to read something from Denver Sallee, MD. He wrote to me, and he wrote, “Like many physicians, I did not have much understanding of the business side of medicine, as I mistakenly thought as long as I helped take great care of patients that I was doing my job. More recently, it became apparent to me that by ceding the management of medicine to nonclinical administrators and to companies interested primarily in value extraction for the benefit of shareholders that I needed more education in order to truly help patients.” Today as aforementioned, I'm talking with Amy Scanlan, MD, who is chief medical officer of the clinically integrated network (CIN) that is the joint venture between Intermountain Health and UCHealth in Colorado. We talk about what it's like to be in the kind of messy middle of transformation to integrate care in a clinically integrated network, trying to figure out how to help physician practices and the CIN itself navigate the external environment in a way that empowers different kinds of practices at different points in their transformation journey that empowers physicians to be in charge, and considering clinical and financial outcomes (ie, the business of healthcare). Dr. Scanlan brings up four main factors to consider when plotting strategy from here to there. Listen to the episode or read the show notes to learn about the four factors. 06:35 How is Dr. Scanlan thinking about the transformation process and the shift to value? 09:16 “It is really trying to think about, how do we help practices get there?” 11:48 “The hard part is the in-between spaces.” 13:21 EP407 with Vivek Garg, MD, MBA. 14:12 “Team-based care done badly is really just a series of handoffs.” 15:52 “We have to get to that point where the culture of collaboration is more pervasive.” 19:58 “How do we as healthcare providers step in and solve this problem?” 20:06 Why do providers have a responsibility to step in and try to fix the healthcare system? 20:22 Article (unpaywalled) by Eric Reinhart, MD, PhD. 21:51 Why do physicians need to be accountable for the cost of care as well as outcomes? 23:38 Why does physician burnout give Dr. Scanlan hope? 24:26 What is the solution to changing fee-for-service incentives? 25:43 What are some of the challenges facing changing incentives? 27:16 Why is data so important? 28:54 EP393 with David Muhlestein, PhD, JD. 30:13 “It's important to understand that we are in the middle of this change.” 31:18 Dr. Scanlan's advice for those trying to stand up a CIN.

Associates on Fire: A Financial Podcast for the Associate Dentist

The Dental Board Room Podcast has always favored a Fee-For-Service practice model. However, we admit we've seen practices succeed within the PPO framework and contract restrictions. In fact, some PPO practices have seen tremendous success. But how is that possible when your in-network reimbursement rates are less than 50% of your UCR rates? In this episode, Bob Marcus DMD, former practice owner who sold a 2.3M single-doctor PPO practice with no debt at age 51, explains the formula. This formula includes:An improved hygiene programBetter dental technologyIncreased EfficiencyA more effective assistantA more effective front officeA successful case presentation and acceptance planBob drives home the power of leverage, communication, and leadership. He reverses the narrative with the team and patients in a way that starts with the end in mind and never with insurance. This is absolutely an episode to not be missed. Tune in today!

In this throwback episode of The Power Producers podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck talk about the significance of understanding the service fee and why it's considered as a great tool. Episode Highlights: David thinks that it's significant to understand the difference between the fee for service as an agent and charging broker fees. (2:03) David mentions that agents in the middle market don't understand that a service fee is a great tool. (2:37) Kyle thinks that most of the agent doesn't know that it's also an option. (2:46) David hopes that more than 1% of the listeners could take action on what they talked about because it could change their career. (2:54) David shares that he learned about service fees from the first agency that he worked at. (3:58) In terms of service, did David plateau at some point? (4:55) David shares a story about an international restaurant chain that they represented. (4:59) David explains why he does service fees. (10:05) David mentions that in other states, they charge additional broker fees. (11:44) David shares that another primary example of people who charge fees are agencies who do non-standard auto. (12:13) David mentions that the issue they run across in Florida when they have that conversation is that they can't charge a fee and take a commission on the same policy. (14:08) David mentions that it gets a little tricky when it comes to workers' compensation because the rates are mandated by the state and the commissions are already built-in. (14:44) How would David determine who's a good fit for a service fee? (16:32) Where do David and Kyle need to be if they take a cut on the front end? (16:46) David thinks that the accounts that are a good fit for the service fee are the ones with $25,000 to 50,000 in agency revenue. (17:11) David learned that HVAC companies are not good candidates for service fees. (18:00) David thinks that it's significant for agents to understand that you can be more creative, with how you're compensated with a fee. (21:09) David shares that the fundamental philosophy is to get into an account early when you're not going to be able to get commissions. (27:11) David mentions that once renewal hits, your commissions will be stripped out of the renewal, and you'll recover the money that you've spent ahead of time paying them a service fee. (28:43) Tweetable Quotes: “There's no reason for you to continue to get paid more and more money just because they're growing when you're not doing more work at the same rate at which they're growing.” - David Carothers “I'm gonna put some skin in the game, I'm going to show them that I want to invest for the long term, and I'm gonna explain this to them. Point blank, I have no problem covering what my compensation is for the agency when I'm talking with anybody.” - David Carothers “I think it's important for agents to understand that you can be a lot more creative with, how you're compensated with a fee. So it's no secret that we're going into accounts that have MOD issues. It's no secret that they have claim issues on the other lines of coverage, or whatever else.” - David Carothers “There's a whole lot of stuff you can do inside of service fee arrangements that you just don't have flexibility.

If you care about the future of ABA, it's important to understand not only its strengths, but also the myriad challenges the field faces. And to that end, I can't think of a more difficult challenge the field of Applied Behavior Analysis has right now than figuring out how to adequately measure outcome quality, and how this relates to funding ABA services.  My guest for Session 196 is Amanda Ralston, and she's been thinking a lot about these issues for quite some time, and she was kind enough to spend some an hour with me to share her thoughts.  As you'll learn in this episode, Mandy has been in the ABA field for over 20 years, and has experience founding and operating a large, statewide ABA provider, consulting with large multi-state ABA organizations, and much more. Mandy most recently founded NonBinary Solutions, which she talks about briefly. We discuss the current model of insurance reimbursement, and contrast that with what's referred to as Value-Based Pay or Value-Based Care. These payment models differ considerably from the current Fee-For-Service arrangements that most listeners are likely familiar with.  While Behavioral Observations is not a health-care policy podcast, I was encouraged to explore this topic by some friends and confidants, largely because this treatment model may be coming our way at some point. Given that Behavior Analysis is not a mature field as of 2022 - especially when it comes to funding our services - I thought it would be a good idea to explore the topic.  If you experience this conversation the same way I did, I think you'll come to the realization that there are more questions than answers when it comes to Value-Based Care (many of which are articulated in this short video), so I may return to this topic from time to time as things develop.  Here are some links to resources we discussed: NonBinary Solutions website, Instagram.
