Surprise billing for patients is largely gone, so why are so many self-funded employer health plans still getting hammered by out-of-network costs? We sit down with Scott Bennett, Chief Provider Relations Officer at the PHIA Group, to unpack what the No Surprises Act is doing in the real world and why federal arbitration is starting to look less like a safety valve and more like a payment engine.Scott walks us through the mechanics that matter: QPA as the median contracted rate, the short open negotiation window, and the IDR process where an arbitrator picks one of two numbers. Then we dig into the headline signals from PHIA's national NSA report analyzing more than 1.25 million federal IDR disputes across 23,000-plus providers. When offers land five to six times above QPA and initiating parties win around 80% of the time, it creates a powerful incentive to file early and file often. For employer-sponsored health plans, especially self-funded groups like school districts and public safety employers, that can translate into budget shocks, higher renewals, and rising stop-loss pressure even when members never see a bill.We also explore why a small cluster of providers can drive a disproportionate share of disputes, what hotspots in certain states may be telling us about market power and network penetration, and how brokers and benefits advisors can protect clients with better data, tighter timelines, and a real IDR strategy instead of a reactive scramble. If you advise plan sponsors, this is a must-listen on NSA compliance, healthcare cost containment, fiduciary responsibility, and the evolving economics of out-of-network reimbursement.If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a colleague, and leave a review so more plan sponsors and advisors can find the conversation. What IDR pattern are you seeing in your own claims data?

Scott Bennett: Blood Sugar Baby tells the amazing true story of Scott and Jemma Bennett's infant daughter Olivia and her battle with a rare genetic condition, how she was nearly fatally misdiagnosed and how Scott challenged the hospital to improve their care - by taking his dad's advice to “Put a tie on”.First-time parents Scott and Jemma are taken from the apparently idyllic world of having a new-born baby who sleeps through the night and suddenly plunged into months of misguided treatments, genetics, bizarre side effects and private jets.Recorded in Scott and Jemma's home town of Nottingham - where the real-life story began - this is an emotional show about a critically ill baby but it's also a really funny one with a happy and hopeful ending.Written and Performed by Scott BennettProduced by Ben WalkerA DLT Entertainment production for BBC Radio 4

John Blank, chief investment strategist and chief economist at Zacks Investment Research, says the conditions are increasingly bringing back the spectre of a recession, with the odds of a protracted economic slowdown now standing at about 50 percent. Moreover, he doesn't believe that the widely anticipated interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve today will really do anything to alter that course. Blank says that the recession could trigger a stock market sell-off that could cut valuations by more than 40 percent, though he does not think that any such decline will be long-lived. Allison Hadley discusses research she did for NC Solutions which showed that 73% of Americans say little treats are crucial to quality of life; as a result, they're spending an average of $360 a year on $5 indulgences like chocolate, coffee, and candles. Scott Bennett, founder of Invest With Rules brings his trend-following methodology to the Market Call, where he helps to prove the adage that "disagreement makes a market" by coming to the opposite conclusion on a stock covered by John Dorfman of Dorfman Value on yesterday's show.
