The Ticking Time Bomb in Your Health Plan Fiduciary duty means acting in the plan's best interest, but many employers don't realize their company and their health plan are legally separate entities. Responsibility for claims rests with designated plan fiduciaries, not executives, brokers, or TPAs, a fact that often catches plan sponsors off guard. There are conflicting incentives among brokers, TPAs, and stop-loss carriers. This means no one is financially motivated to make tough claim decisions, leaving employers exposed. The solution is full transparency, clearly identify fiduciaries, document vendor selection processes, and cap incentive-based compensation to prevent abuse. Know who your fiduciaries are, have a repeatable process, and ensure all compensation models are defensible to avoid costly legal and financial fallout.

Good Intentions, Unintended Consequences The No Surprises Act backfired, while it successfully eliminated surprise patient bills, Practices and Systems now game the Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process to get paid more than the original charges, sometimes double. The good news for patients, not so much as these costs are shifting to premiums, health plans are paying dramatically more, with claims over $1 million nearly doubling and industry arbitration win rates dropping below 10%. Hotspots of abuse exist, Nevada leads, and in Tennessee just 147 practices filed 36,000 disputes. Private equity-owned practices leading the way in turning arbitration into a business strategy. In an extension of the "No Surprises" we don't expect Congress to fix it. Medical facilities are often the largest employers in representatives' districts, creating a powerful conflict of interest.

The PBM Trap: How “Savings” Are Costing You a Fortune PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers) were created with good intentions but became broken middlemen incentivized to push higher-cost drugs. Securing a big discount on an expensive drug looks more impressive than low-cost alternatives. Unfortunately, the system encourages over-prescription. 90% of doctors have no idea what the drugs they prescribe will actually cost you, and direct-to-consumer advertising (allowed only in the US and New Zealand) drives patients to demand expensive brand-name drugs they saw on TV. The solution? Incentivize patients (again!). Independent audit teams can proactively offer generic alternatives, and 80% of the time, doctors agree. Patients receive recurring savings directly in their bank accounts. And for companies: Read your contracts, align incentives with employees, and don't accept the status quo.

Skin Cancer Alternative Treatment Option with Joseph Sardano, CEO at Sensus Healthcare. There is a "new" alternative to surgery for treating skin cancer. Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) uses photon radiotherapy that penetrates only 5mm to treat skin cancer without cutting, bleeding, or scarring. Comparable cure rates matching the gold standard of Mohs surgery. For many patients, this is a better patient experience with no stitches, no healing downtime, and no activity restrictions. Patients can golf, swim, and live normally during the 3–4 week treatment course. Good news as it is now covered by Medicare as SRT has its own CPT code, making reimbursement clear for dermatologists and affordable for patients. So for those with this diagnosis, have the conversation and ask your dermatologist about new options available.

April News You Can Use Your LDL Is a Horoscope, and Your Pancreas Isn't Lazy Topics include: AI turf wars with ChatGPT compete with "Open Evidence" for doctors' attention; None of these AI tools are actually integrated with our clunky Electronic Health Records yet. Doctors aren't calculators: Obsessing over a single cholesterol reading is ridiculous. 20% of heart attack victims look perfectly healthy, and we're ignoring better markers like Lp(a). Enough GLP-1 shaming: Gym bros whining about weight-loss drugs need to can the moral superiority; Meanwhile recent evidence suggests non-response in 10% is often genetic, not a character flaw. Hence we need precision medicine, not judgment yet we still treat everyone with the same blunt-force approach. The future is MCPs: AI connectors that let software send emails for you have been downloaded 97 million times; Just don't hand over the keys until we figure out who's really in charge (spoiler: it's not the calculator).

Limited Six Part Series: Straight Talk, Better Benefits with The Phia Group Join Dr. Nick and Adam Russo, CEO of The Phia Group for Part 1: Mobilize the Workforce. Adam Russo's personal mission began as a first-generation American determined to fight waste and fraud in healthcare, growing his company from an $8,000 basement startup to serving over 20 million lives. Healthcare costs spiral because insurance removes price transparency; unlike TVs or LASIK, you can't easily comparison shop for a knee surgery. Despite healthcare as the second-largest business expense, most employers spend less than five hours a year innovating their plans or analyzing raw claims data. To cut costs, Phia pays employees 20% cash rewards for finding billing errors (one HR leader received $50,000), turning the workforce into vigilant consumers, this is awesome! In their company, they eliminated premiums, deductibles, and copays for employees, guess what, 99% employee retention rate. Phia created a sustainable model of retention and loyalty, proving that better healthcare for less is achievable.

February News You Can Use FDA, AI, and the Paris Café We Deserve Topics include: The FDA's move to reduce drug approval requirements reignites hard lessons from thalidomide and raises fresh safety concerns; In medicine, every shortcut is a trade-off, speed to market vs. unintended consequences; AI tools like Doximity's ChatGPT promise efficiency, but hallucinations, compliance risks, and workflow realities remain; New diagnostic tech may outperform tradition, but only if it truly improves on what clinicians already do.

January News You Can Use The AI Will See You Now (Please Double-Check Its Work) AI medical tools like Open Evidence are valuable but must be used critically; Trust nothing and verify all outputs, as they require expert supervision. New AI healthcare entrants, such as those from Amazon and OpenAI, bring potential but also risks of outdated or inaccurate guidance; Wearable health devices (e.g., Apple Watch) risk overwhelming clinics with false positives, especially among the "worried well." Health risk calculators and AI should supplement, not replace, individualized care guided by a physician's expertise. The healthcare system faces deep issues, from EMR/data abuse lawsuits to unsustainable insurance that offers poor coverage and strains emergency care.
