"Insurance is about health and wealth. It protects your health, it should protect your wealth." - Kylie EverhartKylie Everhart, Chief Growth Officer at Oxbridge Health, joined me to discuss episode benefit plans and how they empower consumers to make better healthcare choices. Episode benefit plans bundle pricing for the entirety of an “episode of care” - for example, if you need a knee surgery, an episode benefit plan would figure out the cost of everything involved in that procedure from several different providers in your area, and offer you multiple bundled price points to choose from. Americans deserve to know the price of their healthcare upfront so that they can make informed decisions. As Kylie shares in the episode, once people have transparent pricing on medical procedures, they demand it from any healthcare plan they use in the future.Tune in this week to Self-Funded with Spencer for a new method of empowering consumers to make good healthcare choices.

Short Description Dr. Mike Woo-Ming explores seven key trends reshaping medicine in 2025, including AI, value-based care, personalized medicine, and digital health innovations. Show Summary Sign up for the Design Your 2025 Income Strategy Masterclass on January 15, 2025 at 8:30p EST! Only $47! Go here. — Dr. Mike Woo-Ming takes a step back to look at the seismic shifts happening in medicine today. As healthcare continues to evolve, he challenges physicians to ask themselves: Are you reacting to change, or are you driving it? In this episode, Dr. Woo-Ming explores seven key trends shaping the future of medicine: artificial intelligence, value-based care, navigating Medicare reimbursement declines, digital health innovations, personalized medicine, healthcare consumerism, and the untapped potential of clinical research. More than a guide to these trends, he offers a vision for how doctors can move beyond survival mode to find fulfillment and leadership in an ever-changing field. This is a call to action for physicians to take back control of their careers and their lives, harnessing these shifts as opportunities for growth and impact. 3 Actionable Takeaways 1) Reimagine What Success Looks Like: Take stock of your practice, identify where you can innovate, and focus on changes that align with your values and the outcomes you want to create. 2) Invest in the Tools of Tomorrow: Start small, stay curious, and use AI tools to amplify—not replace—your role as a physician. 3) Lead with Impact, Not Reaction: Declining reimbursements and system inefficiencies are frustrating, but focus on what you can control—like offering unique services or collaborating with like-minded professionals.

There are so many healthcare organizations that say, "It's all about the patient." The reality it's not. And never has been. Yes, the core KPI is patient outcomes, but don't think for a second the patient is the customer. In a number of instances, they are, but in most instances they are not. And we'll explain more in this episode.

In this episode, they discuss the role of construction in healthcare consumerism. Key Takeaways: [1:08] Leslie explains the topic of discussion for today's episode. [2:02] What core component does HSS focus on to maintain its premier status? [3:00] How does the building fit into the strategy of providing the best healthcare possible? [3:41] Why is consumerism in healthcare not growing at the same pace of other industries? [5:16] Supina talks about how healthcare patients as consumers differ from retail consumers. [7:43] What part does construction play in the pressures arising from consumerism in healthcare?

[22:43] Melissa and Supina talk about strategies they have implemented during activation and transition. [27:54] What advice do Melissa and Supina want healthcare leaders to take away from today's conversation? Mentioned in this episode: Constructing with Care Brought to you by DPR Construction: A trusted healthcare builder. Follow DPR Construction on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Read the article “Construction's Role in Healthcare Consumerism”. Tweetables and Quotes: Quotes for Melissa Kiefer It's important to Hospital for Special Surgery that we continue to invest in our quality of care through our built environment. We can't maintain the investment that we make in research and education unless we continue to grow our physical presence. Part of the challenge of keeping up with construction is that we're often designing and thinking through problems three years before anyone will step foot in the door. The built environment ecosystem needs to think about how we preserve the dignity of people that take part in bringing patient care spaces to life. Quotes for Supina Mapon Until we can break down access barriers, achieve price information transparency, and offer viable and affordable treatment options, healthcare consumers won't be able to achieve the full purchasing power that we see in the retail space. Going forward, we must look at care that encompasses the right care, right time, right place, right cost, and NOW the right experience. It's imperative for health systems to take consumer and patient satisfaction seriously and to empower patients to change the narrative from being passive recipients to more active participants in their own care.
How will the post-pandemic recovery and recuperation be impacted by rising costs, workforce flux, burnout, and shortfalls? What about the compounding crises that are depleting resources and impacting supply chains? How will coverage and payor mix shifts affect the industry, and what about the changing competitive landscape with new entrants? How will rising consumer expectations and the expanding impact of digital technologies, along with consumer-driven shifts in care delivery preference and modeling, play a role? Will the demand for improvements in health equity be met, and what about the negative EBITDA trends?

Morgan Health Care ConferenceIn addition to being a non-profit hospital system, Advocate Aurora is moving to become a health-related company and gave a rundown of its latest moves to do so.This year, the system will continue to invest in “become[ing] more evolved in healthcare beyond just hospitals and doctors,” Advocate Aurora CEO Jim Skogsbergh said.Advocate Aurora detailed how it is buying stakes in innovative consumer health tools. This investment includes a 20% stake in the telenutrition business FoodSmart and the complete acquisition of the home care and wellness company Senior Helpers. The system also bought a 17% stake in the digital and analytics platform Xealth.The latest trends in telehealthVirtual care on the declineVirtual care, which boomed during 2020, has reportedly experienced a significant decline in consumer usage in 2021.It would be interesting to know if this decline results from lower demand for virtual care or lower supply. Do consumers no longer want virtual care, or are their health systems not supplying it?Some data shows that no shows were significantly higher with telehealth which could de-incentivize providers to offer virtual care services.Telehealth was primed for its big moment but ultimately disappointed many because the industry failed to integrate it into the patient experience.When consumers prefer telehealthA month ago, eMarketer released a US Telehealth Trends 2022 report, which found that the number one reason people use virtual is to avoid contracting a disease.While adoption is low, it could be possible that the market hasn't reached the tipping point where telehealth will prevail yet. If you look to other industries, it took time for consumers to become comfortable with a digital experience, so perhaps healthcare is no different.Health systems need to prepare themselves for when consumers are ready to embrace telehealth because those leading the charge will end up on top.
TakeawaysCES took place during the recording of this episode. The No Normal team reviewed the health trends and technologies featured at the event. A health perspective on the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022 Health had a more prominent presence at this year's CES than in previous years. For the first time, a healthcare executive took the main stage.Abbot CEO Robert Ford delivered a keynote presentation on human-powered health, talking about topics such as at-home testing, biome-based medical nutrition, and wearable sensors.This spotlight on health at a consumer goods conference is interesting because it demonstrates the blurring of lines between healthcare, retail, and the consumer world.Whereas medical devices used to be associated with healthcare alone, brands commonly feature these technologies at major consumer electronics events. Health technologies that made a splash at CESSenglad Smart Health Monitoring Light: The WiFi- and Bluetooth-connected Lightbulbs track consumers' heart rate and sleeping patterns throughout the household. This technology is an alternative to on-body sensors.Withings Body Scan Smart Scale: Withings' scale goes beyond standard measurements, offering users insights into body composition per body part. It also makes ECG measurements for atrial fibrillation, vascular health, and changes in nerve activity — all of which users can send to doctors directly from the scale.Sleep Number 360 Smart Bed: Sleep number debuted changes to its 360 Smart Bed. The bed, which already detects movement and makes adjustments automatically, could detect illnesses and disorders like insomnia, sleep apnea, or cardiac events in the future.Toto Wellness Toilet: Toilet retailers have presented at CES for the past few years. This year, Toto launched its Wellness Toilet, which scans the user and "key outputs" to determine the individual's level of wellness.Mind-controlled earbuds: These earbuds use a neural interface to control music and answer calls by detecting users' neural or facial movement activity.With all of these advancements, the health industry still has a long way to go. In fact, 70% of U.S. hospitals still rely on fax machines to communicate patient records. Personalization meets privacyConsumer preference for personalization has been a hot topic for a while, but what's interesting now is how the trend increasingly clashes with consumer privacy concerns.According to Forrester, 72% of consumers only engage with marketing messages tailored to their interest, but 86% are concerned about data privacy. How do we meet both needs when they work against each other?In this new world of consumer health sensors and a growing amount of consumer health data, privacy concerns will likely become an even larger topic of discussion.This weight on privacy is also evidenced by the whopping 96% of users who deny applications access to cross-tracking on Apple devices.Enforcers are also cracking down on data privacy. In fact, France recently fined Google and Facebook millions of dollars for failure to obtain proper consent for data tracking.Which organizations do consumers trust the most with their data? Around 50% of respondents identified Amazon as the most trusted data steward, above Apple, Google, and even banks.We explore the personalization of healthcare — what we call the Copernican Consumer — and its relation to privacy preferences in our upcoming book, Joe Public 2030. Splintered societiesOur book, Joe Public 2030, also predicts The Rise of Health Sects, splintering societies based on political affiliation related to health.This phenomenon is commonly referred to as political tribalism. However, tribalism may not be the correct term as the language implies ancestry, race, or culture.In-group and out-group dynamics dramatically shape individual value systems and political views. When individuals belong to a group, they will look to those they trust — their group — for signals on how to think.The way someone thinks or acts on a health issue is highly correlated with their political affiliation. We've seen that with masking and vaccination, and other health-related issues.In 2022 this trend will continue, which will have implications for brand strategy, creative, and business in general.Historically brands have focused on speaking to "universal truths." In this new age of splintered societies, we can no longer group our audiences as we have in the past, just based on age or demographics. We need to go beyond traditional consumer segmentation and lean into the power of group influence. As marketers, we need to reevaluate how we partner with trusted entities across different groups.
In today's episode we talk with Deb Gordon, author of “The Health Care Consumer's Manifesto.” Deb is a former health plan executive, an Aspen Institute Health Innovators Fellow, and a former Senior Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School. In this episode, we discussed Deb's travels to Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore to explore the role of consumers in high-performing health systems, and how those learnings can make healthcare consumerism a reality in America.

In this episode, Niall Brennan discusses his experiences as the first Chief Data Officer for CMS, his current role as President and CEO of the Health Care Cost Institute, and why private sectors, insurance silos, and consolidation have made U.S. healthcare so unaffordable. Niall also discusses the issues of price transparency being pushed as a consumer only issue, and points out the current healthcare buzzwords that aren't really “moving the needle.”
There are two forces at work that are poised to disrupt the healthcare industry - consumerism and the rise of retail healthcare. In this episode, hosts Reed Smith and Chris Boyer talk through how the current state of the industry is shifting the healthcare consumer, and how these shifts may run in conflict with the retail movement. They are joined by expert James A. Gardner, who shares his experience understanding the impacts retail healthcare is having on health systems across the country Mentions from the Show: Are consumers already living the future of health?

I’m going to summarize some points that Dr. Marty Makary made in his manifesto for why he wrote his most recent book. The Price We Pay is its name. You can hear this manifesto in his own words—in Dr. Makary’s own words—on Relentless Health Value episode 242, but here’s his point: He said that the 2007 banking crisis, writ large, resulted from complexity that kept onlookers confused. So, when people questioned the banks being overleveraged and selling mortgages to, you know, those who couldn’t afford them, experts responded by saying, “You know, it’s very complicated. Leave it to us.” But on the ground, it was clear there was a problem. And in hindsight, there obviously was a problem. Here’s the point that Dr. Makary was making, which I think is super valid: Many of the entrenched stakeholders in medicine fend off criticism by claiming that these are highly complex systems that should be left to experts. They say, “You wouldn’t understand. Leave it to us.” And just like the experts in the banking industry got us into the calamitous Great Recession in 2007-2008, the experts that we’re leaving it to in health care have driven ever-higher prices for care that I’m gonna say that most in the health care industry who actually care about patients are certainly not proud of. In this health care podcast, I’m speaking with Dawn Cornelis, cofounder and director of transparency at ClaimInformatics. We get into what sounds so simple: self-insured employers having their medical bills paid by a third party who specializes in paying medical bills. Maybe these third parties even say that they give all the bills the once-over before they pay them—except when a company like ClaimInformatics reviews the same bills, they find savings in the double digits from paying bills that are wrong at some level or just flat-out fraud. Considering that by some estimates there’s like a trillion dollars lost in this country to some level of fraud, waste, and abuse, this is pretty much the opposite of poking around in the couch cushions looking for change. While there’s certainly a lot of details, it’s not really that complicated. You can learn more at claiminformatics.com or by emailing Dawn at d.cornelis@claiminformatics.com. Dawn Cornelis is cofounder of ClaimInformatics and serves as its chief transparency officer. With 25 years of experience in health care claim review and cost containment, Dawn brings a personal passion for rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse. Dawn’s work includes building strong national alliance partnerships with major insurance companies and health systems such as AIG World Investigative Resources, Global Options, Mutual of Omaha, Principal Financial Group, Deloitte, PHCS/Multiplan, Jefferson Health System, and Seton Health System. Dawn has identified and recovered hundreds of millions of dollars of improper payments through pre- and post-payment cost containment programs while navigating the payment systems of all of the national health carriers. In 1993, Dawn cofounded Claim Recovery Services, the industry’s first audit and recovery firm, and served for 17 years as its chief operating officer, assisting several Fortune 100 companies. She then spent 3 years as the chief operating officer of ClaimReturn. Dawn has been an expert speaker at national forums such as The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism on various health care audit topics and participates in roundtable sessions on federal and state regulations. 02:54 The story in the data. 03:32 Who’s submitting these claims? 04:10 The three problems with the data. 07:19 The varying factor between carrier systems to stop fraud, waste, and abuse. 07:59 Why carriers don’t push for better systems to stop inappropriate dollars. 10:07 The difference between fraud, waste, and abuse. 11:46 “When it becomes the norm, that’s what’s very bothering.” 12:13 The barriers or hurdles in the marketplace. 15:35 What we don’t know about but could do better at when looking at the data. 18:01 “It’s not so much the health system and what they are charging. It’s about … what the contracted rate is agreed to. That’s what drives our costs.” 19:02 “Data’s fixed for itself.” 22:09 Identifying and eliminating fraud. 22:14 Unbundling and the lack of enforcement behind preventing illegal billing. 28:59 How providers ensure they aren’t inadvertently harming employers and patients through billing.

It's clear that marketing and patient experience efforts in hospitals are trying to address an unparalleled shift to consumerism.

In this episode, hosts Reed Smith and Chris Boyer explore the concept of consumerism and address trends that are impacting how hospitals and health systems are transforming their organization to embrace a patient-first mentality. Featuring an expert interview with Gary Frazier of OM Healthcare, in which he shares his perspective on empowering the consumer in healthcare and how his organization seeks to put the consumer first in an open marketplace.
