Okay. This show today is part of our Relentless Health Value "The Inches Are All Around Us" series. This Inches Talk is a metaphor for finding all those little places where there is healthcare waste as a first step in an effort to excise all these little pockets of waste. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Shane Cerone said this phrase during episode 492, and I loved it because there are inches all around us for sure. And the thing with all these inches that we're gonna talk about today and last week and next week and the week after that, yeah, these are inches that actually you could cut them. And there are millions and billions of dollars, and you actually improve patient care. You improve clinical team experience. Also, you're cutting out friction and making it easier to do the right thing to care for patients. These are no-brainer kinds of stuff if your North Star is better and more affordable patient care, but they are also somebody else's bread and butter in a "one person's cost is another person's revenue" kind of way. So, yeah … what makes perfect common sense might not be as easy as it might look on paper, as we all know so well. So, last week we dug into all of the inches of expensive friction that develop when stakeholders interact—like, a clinical organization and a payer and a plan sponsor, self-insured employer. They try to get paid or pay. They try to direct contract because what will be found fast enough is that the data is not the data is not the data, as Mark Newman talked about last week (EP496); and a dollar is not a dollar is not a dollar. Again, you'll find this out fast enough. All of you know when you talk to entities up and down the patient journey or across the life of a claim, otherwise known as a healthcare transaction. It's mayhem to get a claim paid often enough. Each stakeholder comes in with their own priorities and views and accounting methods and various rollups. I like how Stephanie Hartline put it. She wrote, "Healthcare … moves through many hands without a rail that preserves truth along the way. Attribution breaks, and truth gets reassembled later. The difference isn't capability—it's infrastructure. Line-item billing ≠ line-item settlement." Or I also like how Chris Erwin put it. He wrote, "When the blueprint isn't standardized, you aren't scaling. You're just compounding chaos." And yeah, then all of a sudden when there's no through line, there's no rail that connects all the data to the data to the data, or all the dollars to the dollars to the dollars. Suddenly 30% of any given healthcare transaction goes to trying to straighten it all back out again—to reassemble it, as Stephanie said. It's like unleashing 100 chaos monkeys and then having to pay to recapture them all. Listen to the show with David Scheinker, PhD (EP363) from last year about "Hey, how about we all just use the same template and avoid a lot of this." Or read Zeke Emanuel's book about how the USA should potentially consider copying the Netherlands model because they have private insurance. But they cut admin costs 75% or something like that. Oh, right … through standardization. Jesse Hendon summarized this the other day. He wrote, "Providers don't need armies of coders to fight 50 different insurance rule books [when you have some standardization here]." I say all this to say after recording the episode with Mark Newman from last week, I have become intently fascinated by what goes on in this non-standardized or otherwise friction points between stakeholders. There are a lot of inches in this gray area land of confusion.   This show today digs into one of them, which is what does it take to process a claim? Just technically. What are the pipes involved to submit a claim and, again, get paid for it, which is a healthcare transaction—just simply the technology moving the data around—even if everything in the pipes is a non-standardized hot mess. Because just fixing up the processing and the pipes here—again, while this doesn't solve the entire data isn't a data isn't a data or a dollar isn't a dollar isn't a dollar problem—if we can just cut out some of the processing and the moving the data around costs, just this all by itself is $6 billion a year worth of inches. Plus, as an added bonus, fix up the pipes for better data flow and now patient care can be faster if, for example, the prior auth or etc. processes transpire faster. And clearinghouses have entered the chat. But you know, when clearinghouses come up, at least in my world, when the clearinghouse word gets dropped, it's usually accompanied by like a puff of smoke because no one is quite sure what those guys do all day. So, we all sort of look at each other in the conversation and move on. Lucky for me and possibly you if I've managed to suck you into my web of intrigue, I ran into Zack Kanter from Stedi, a new clearinghouse, who agreed to come on the pod here and aid my exploration into this demarcation zone between stakeholders. So, let's start here. What is a clearinghouse? Well, a clearinghouse is the same thing as a switch when we're talking about pharmacy data transfers, if you're familiar with that terminology and that's helpful. But either way, in the conversation with Zack Kanter that follows, Zack will explain this better; but clearinghouses are like a hub, maybe, that connects all the payers with all the providers. So, if you want an eligibility check or you wanna submit a claim or do a prior auth of the payer, whatever you're trying to do, get paid, you as an EHR system or a doctor's office or an RCM (revenue cycle management) company, you don't have to set up your own personal data connection with every single payer out there. You don't have to go through all the authentications and the BAAs (Business Associate Agreements) and map all the fields and set up the 100 SOC 2–compliant APIs (application programming interfaces). Instead, you can hook up to one clearinghouse, and then that clearinghouse connects with everybody else. So, most medical claims transactions have a clearinghouse in the middle, like an old-timey telephone operator routing your claim or denial or approval of that claim or eligibility check or whatever to the right place. And unfortunately, old-timey telephone operator is a pretty apt metaphor, depending on which clearinghouse you're using. Anyway, Zack Kanter told me that the price to just send and receive an electronic little piece of data in healthcare through a clearinghouse costs about 1,000 times more than any other industry would pay. Like, if you do an eligibility check, that's gonna cost 10 to 15 cents per. The trucking industry pays that much for 1,000 such data transfers. They would riot if someone asked them to spend a dollar for 10 data transfers. That'd be ridiculous in their eyes. But in healthcare, all these dimes add up to, again, $6 billion a year—them's some inches there—which also equal delays in payment and patient care. Now you might be thinking, "Oh, well, maybe it costs this much because healthcare is so much more complicated than trucking or whatever." Well, turns out the opposite is true: Because of HIPAA, ironically enough, healthcare is, in fact, much more standardized (we were talking about standardization before); but healthcare is actually much more standardized than many other industries due to HIPAA's administrative simplification rules, which mandate a universal language for transactions—the pipes I'm talking about now. So, actually, for as much as I was just kvetching about chaos monkeys, compared to other industries, the baseline construct here is actually much more orderly than, for example, the trucking industry or whatever, like Amazon or Walmart has to deal with with their millions of vendors. Now—and here's a really big point, especially for self-insured employers—you know who the main customer is for a lot of the more programmatic, the newer kinds of clearinghouses? I'll tell you: newer digital entities who do RCM (revenue cycle management) for provider organizations, and that can be great if you're a practice just trying to keep up with payer denials and expedite patient care. But look, all you plan sponsors and self-assured employers and maybe unions out there, the more RCM purveyors start working with programmatic clearinghouses, the more you not doing programmatic prepayment integrity programs with unconflicted third-party prepayment integrity vendors who are as hooked into the data streams and the clearinghouses as the RCM vendors are, the more, as I said last week, increasingly you're bringing an ever more rusty knife to a gunfight. So, that is certainly something to consider. There's a whole episode next week about this with Mark Noel from ClaimInsight. Or if you just can't wait, go back and listen to the show with Kimberly Carleson (EP480) just for the gist of it, or the one with Dawn Cornelis (EP285) from a few years ago. They're talking post-payment integrity programs, but a lot of the same rules apply. The show today is sponsored by Aventria Health Group, as usual. But I do want to say that we got some very appreciated financial support from Stedi, the only programmable healthcare clearinghouse. And here is my conversation about all of the inches that are all around us, specifically in the healthcare data pipes, with Zack Kanter, who is the CEO and founder over at Stedi. Also mentioned in this episode are Stedi; Shane Cerone; Mark Newman; Stephanie Hartline; Chris Erwin; David Scheinker, PhD; Zeke Emanuel, MD, PhD; Jesse Hendon; Mark Noel; ClaimInsight; Kimberly Carleson; Dawn Cornelis; Aventria Health Group; Preston Alexander; Eric Bricker, MD; and Kada Health.

Mike Tomlin had a huge hand in personnel and the draft. He drafted Kenny Pickett and brought in Matt Canada, Russell Wilson, and others. Peter King always thought Mike Tomlin got the most out of rosters, but he's formed the rosters. Frank Michael Smith pointed out that only one of the last 12 first round picks have received a long-term deal.

In this episode of First Round's On Me, we're joined by Kalissa Persaud — actor, model, and creator — for a wide-ranging conversation about art, identity, confidence, and what it really means to build a creative career in the age of algorithms.We talk about acting vs. content creation, why follower count is quietly reshaping opportunity, and how micro-influencers are becoming more trusted than celebrities. Kalissa opens up about rejection, craft, modeling for major fashion houses, and the pressure of growing up in industries that reward perfection while punishing humanity.The conversation expands into AI in the arts, the danger of over-curation, confidence vs. self-belief, and why real connection — eye contact, presence, imperfection — is slowly disappearing in a hyper-digital world. At its core, this episode is a reminder that art is supposed to be human, not optimized.Funny, thoughtful, and unexpectedly philosophical, this is a conversation about choosing belief in yourself when the world is constantly telling you who to be.

In this episode of First Round's On Me, Joey and Hannah pull back the curtain on why FROME evolved from a dating app into a social app — and what problem it's actually trying to solve.They unpack the tension between technology and genuine human connection, the confusion users have felt around too many features, and why the simplest explanation is often the most powerful. From explaining the app in a single sentence to breaking down how drink credits, partner venues, and real-life meetups actually work, this episode is both a philosophy lesson and a practical reset.The conversation expands into Gen Z's rejection of screen addiction, the growing “analog” movement, and why even the people who built social media won't let their kids use it. At its core, this episode is about getting people off their phones and back in front of each other — using technology as a bridge, not a replacement, for real connection.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by group chats, endless scrolling, or plans that never actually happen, this episode explains why FROME exists — and why real connection still matters.

In this episode of First Round's On Me, we sit down with Jenny Gorelick — comedian, writer, and two-time Emmy-nominated producer — for a conversation that blends comedy, dating, fear, and emotional honesty in a way only a comic can.Jenny opens up about what's actually changed for women in comedy (and what hasn't), how she creates a sense of belonging in New York rooms, and why comedy is one of the hardest art forms in the world to get right. The conversation moves fluidly from stand-up and writing, to magic on stage, to pop culture, celebrity relationships, and the strange emotional logic of modern dating.We also dig deep into ghosting vs. honesty, fear of rejection, emotional intelligence, and why so many people avoid direct communication — even when they care. From “soft ghosting” debates to the truth behind “if he wanted to, he would,” this episode is sharp, funny, and uncomfortably relatable.

Hosts Brad Fowler and Alex Higdon break down the biggest NFL and College Football Week reactions, playoff implications, and CFP first-round results as the postseason picture comes into focus. We start with the Chicago Bears’ stunning comeback win over the Green Bay Packers, what it says about Chicago’s resilience, and why the Packers are suddenly fighting for their playoff lives with injuries piling up and uncertainty around Jordan Love. We also dive into the Jacksonville Jaguars’ dominant road win over the Denver Broncos, Trevor Lawrence playing the best football of his career, and whether the Jags are being overlooked as a real AFC playoff threat. Plus — the Pittsburgh Steelers vs Detroit Lions wild finish, what Detroit’s loss means for their playoff hopes, and why Pittsburgh may be headed for another early postseason exit despite winning three straight. We break down Rams vs Seahawks with major NFC playoff implications, Puka Nacua’s historic stretch, and which team can actually be trusted in January. Brock Purdy earns the NFL Game Ball as the San Francisco 49ers stay red-hot and the Indianapolis Colts continue to slide. In College Football, we react to the College Football Playoff first round, including Alabama vs Oklahoma, how in-game adjustments flipped the game, and why coaching made the difference. We also break down Miami vs Texas A&M, the Aggies’ offensive struggles, and Mark Fletcher’s takeover performance earning this week’s CFB Helmet Sticker. Ole Miss and Oregon handle business as expected in lopsided CFP matchups.

The College Football Playoffs gave us chaos, comebacks, and a new set of NFL Draft conversations. Ty Simpson flipped a 17–0 deficit, Dante Moore lit it up in Oregon's win, and Miami–Texas A&M turned into a trench war.

FOX Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the First Round of the College Football Playoff. He points out the critical reasons why Alabama was able to storm back from a 17-0 deficit to stun Oklahoma in Norman. He also breaks down Miami's 10-3 win in College Station upsetting Texas A&M as the Hurricanes advance to face Ohio State in the Quarterfinals. Klatt then discusses Ole Miss and Oregon after their comfortable wins and their chances in the next round as they get ready to face Georgia and Texas Tech. After two blowout losses by Tulane and James Madison on Saturday, Klatt discusses whether it makes sense for the Group of 5 teams to continue to receive an automatic bid into the CFP in the future. 0:00-2:20 Intro2:21-16:54 Alabama beats Oklahoma to move onto the Rose Bowl16:55-26:00 Miami upsets Texas A&M at Kyle Field26:01-28:46 Ole Miss beats Tulane in Pete Golding's first win as head coach28:47-31:17 Oregon beats JMU31:18- 39:24 Should group of 5 teams get automatic berths into the playoff after two blowout losses?

The first round of the College Football Playoff is in the books. Oregon, Ole Miss, Alabama and Miami move on to the quarterfinal matchups on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. While some of the matchups in the first round this season were more competitive than last year, the lop-sided victories over the Group of Five schools, Tulane and James Madison, have sparked debate on whether there should be G5 schools in the CFP. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey have a heated debate on this topic. Ross Dellenger also joins in as the three discuss what changes should be made for future College Football Playoffs. Then, they dive deeper into the matchup that saw Alabama come away victorious. The guys discuss all of the talk, leading up to the game, about Kalen DeBoer and if he would be leaving for Michigan or potentially even fired if he lost this game. They also talk about how Alabama handled their early deficit, in contrast to how they played in the SEC title game, and if the Crimson Tide can make a run.Later, the guys discuss the Michigan coaching search and where it is at. DeBoer appears to be out, especially since he is still in the CFP, and now Michigan's rumored other target is off of the table. Arizona State's Kenny Dillingham has signed an extension to stay with the Sun Devils, eliminating him from the Michigan opening. Biff Poggi is the interim head coach. Is there a chance he could become the permanent choice? Some other ideas are tossed out about a coach with the last name Harbaugh and a coach who just stepped down in Utah. Come get caught up on all things CFP and beyond with College Football Enquirer.0:00:00 - Recap of the CFP First Round8:38 - Changes the CFP should make32:38 - Alabama comes back to beat Oklahoma46:29 - Update on Michigan's coaching search Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:
