What if the biggest gap in American health care isn't a drug, a device, or a diagnosis, but a discipline? On this episode host Fred Goldstein sits with Dr. Heather O'Hara, Chair of the American Board of Preventive Medicine, and Dr. Joshua R. Mann, founding Chair of the Department of Preventive Medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, to unpack the often-misunderstood specialty of preventive medicine.

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. Solution include aggressive negotiation. Winning requires disciplined people-driven approaches during the 30-day negotiation window, identifying ineligible claims, and calling out bad actors.

On this episode Gil welcomes Edward Marx, of Marx Advisory. Edward Marx is a former CIO of Cleveland Clinic, global health strategist, author, triathlete, and founder of Marx Advisory. Gil and Ed engage in a wide-ranging conversation about the state of health innovation worldwide. Marx pulls from his experience convening intimate roundtables of health system leaders across the United States, Europe, and beyond to identify the universal forces holding health systems back: AI hype disconnected from strategy, governance structures bloated with chiefs but starved of leaders, and a clinical workforce increasingly buried under documentation demands. He also shares the expansive vision behind his Voices of Innovation book series - which has grown from a U.S.-focused framework to a global project chronicling health innovation in Europe, Latin America, Canada, Israel, and the Middle East. And beneath all of it, a deeply personal philosophy: that the health system can only be rebuilt by leaders who have suffered enough to truly remember its humanity.

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. Healthcare may be weird, but we don't have to be passive victims of it. To stream our Station live 24/7 visit www.HealthcareNOWRadio.com or ask your Smart Device to “….Play Healthcare NOW Radio”.

On this episode Fred sits down with Matt Berseth, Co-Founder and CIO of Jacksonville-based AI and machine learning firm NLP Logix, for a candid conversation about artificial intelligence's uneven journey into healthcare. Berseth traces his path from a small North Dakota farm to co-founding one of America's fastest-growing AI companies, and reflects on the landmark moment in 2016 when NLP Logix's algorithm finished in the top five of the international "CAMELYON16" digital pathology challenge, competing against teams from MIT, Harvard, and Google. The episode covers why clinical AI has been so slow to scale despite impressive research results, where the real near-term opportunity lies (hint: it's in the back office and workflow automation, not the OR), and what healthcare executives should be doing right now to position their organizations for the AI-accelerated decade ahead. Berseth closes with a compelling call to prioritize organizational AI literacy, ie, the foundational investment that separates AI-ready health systems from those still waiting on the sidelines.

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.

Digital Empathy: Rethinking the Patient Experience with John Deutsch of Bridge On this episode host Tom Testa sits down with John Deutsch, CEO of Bridge, for a conversation about one of healthcare's biggest ongoing challenges: creating a patient experience that actually feels connected, transparent, and human.
