Apologies for being a day late, as the Labor Day holiday delayed the episode. But at least there's plenty to discuss on this episode, mainly PlayStation, as a leak has surfaced from the reliable Moore's Law is Dead, stating that the PlayStation 6 Portable could be available at the launch of the console and will be presented as its own unique SKU, and not tied to the console like the PS Portal. Is this forward-thinking by Sony? Or could this become another Series S-type situation? Sean and Marc discuss it all. Also, does the departure of the Fairgames Creative Director count as catching failure early or late in the process? Hermen Hulst gave an interview discussing the failure of Concord and how they want to avoid that at all costs in the future. Plus, Marc has finished Donkey Kong Bananza, Sean keeps moseying along in Mafia: The Old Country, Xbox also has its own news with a Call of Duty movie in the works at Paramount, layoff fears at Candy Crush maker King, and Take-Two almost saved Perfect Dark, Nintendo being weirdly selective with Switch 2 Devkits, and a lot more on this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX!You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/OCT1cBvn6AM

Relentless Health Value
Take Two: EP436: Let's Talk About TPA and Health Plan Inertia Instead of Jumbo Employer Inertia, With Elizabeth Mitchell

Relentless Health Value

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 28, 2025 35:47


Right up front here, let me just state loudly that there are some amazing independent TPAs (third-party administrators) out there who have the expertise, the scrappy willfulness, and the deep desire to do right by their clients, their self-insured employer clients. 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. And look, they may be facing some of the same headwinds that plan sponsors themselves face, like anticompetitive contracts, brokers who are up to no good, etc. So, just keep that in mind as you listen. And the main point of all of this if you are a plan sponsor is, find a good TPA partner, which, as Bryce Platt has said about consultants but same rules apply about TPAs here, the difficulty is being informed enough to tell the difference. So, the goal of this show is to help with that, the “be informed enough to tell the difference.” All of this being said, this is technically a Take Two; but we trimmed it down and welcome to a whole new intro. So, call this a refresher and an update about a really, really important topic from last year that is becoming extremely (maybe even more) relevant this year. Really relevant. Consider, for example, the show with Claire Brockbank (EP453) about carrier/TPA RFPs (requests for proposal) and all of the landmines that are really expensive, that are buried in some of these contracts. Then there was the Cynthia Fisher show (EP457) from last year about the millions, maybe billions of dollars in aggregate going missing in medical (ie, TPA or ASO [administrative services only]) spread pricing. We had “The Mystery of the Weekly Claims Wire” show with Justin Leader (EP433), again, revealing money that's being disappeared when the TPA is withdrawing dollars from plan sponsor checking accounts. And then there's the payment integrity episode with Kimberly Carleson (EP480) from a few weeks ago with just another wrinkle on this, namely TPAs or ASOs who insist on auditing themselves and how that turns out for members and plan sponsors. Oh, and last, but certainly not least, is the whistleblower show with Ann Lewandowski (EP476) on how a TPA arm of an EBC (employee benefit consultant) allegedly pocketed $20 million—$20 million of their client's pharma rebates—and used that $20 million to fund their executive bonus pool. What a time to be alive! All of this just highlights the huge stakes for plan sponsors to really understand what their TPA is all about. And when I say high stakes, I mean from both a legal standpoint and also just vast dollars in play here. But this episode with Elizabeth Mitchell is also, I'm gonna say, extremely relevant given just a few ripped from the headlines and news articles such as these. I'm gonna start actually with a post from Kimberly Carleson, and I like the comment by Jeff Evans, who wrote, “How does $8,710 equal $104,266?” Spoiler alert, it doesn't. Lots of missing dollars there. Someone's hands are in the cookie jar. Oh, look, the TPA has entered the chat. In a nutshell, and I'm quoting something Peter Hayes wrote, he wrote, “TPAs have received relatively little public attention. [There's an article in Health Affairs] that describes how TPAs impose hidden fees, benefit from their own form of spread pricing, and otherwise prioritize their own financial interests over those of their plan clients.” Also, here's a totally other issue. Let me quote Luke Prettol highlighting something Jason Shafrin had written about a paper by Jeff Marr, Daniel Polsky, and Mark Meiselbach. Let me slightly rephrase what Luke said. He wrote, “Employers pay, on average, a 4.7% [so almost 5%] price markup when hospitals are in their TPA's [Medicare Advantage] network.” Right? Dr. Eric Bricker talked about this in that episode (EP472) just how TPAs with MA (Medicare Advantage) business negotiate their commercial clients to pay higher rates so that then they can pay lower rates for their own MA members. As Luke wrote, “On its face, this overpayment does not appear to be solely in the interest of participants.” No kidding. Now, let's spin the wheel here. There are barriers for TPAs themselves, even the ones who have a deep desire to do the right thing. As Patrick Moore wrote, “Most TPAs still can't do [many of the things that employers might want because there are] PPO contracts.” So, is it a rock in a hard place situation? I mean, if the TPA has no other options than using a carrier's PPO (preferred provider organization) network with all its attendant contractual issues, then yeah, that is one definite challenge. Along these lines, let me read a post by Rina Tikia, because I think she sums up this really well. “When independent TPAs … push for transparency, they're blocked under the banner of ‘fiduciary risk.' “Meanwhile, the largest carriers and PBMs, with Cayman shell subsidiaries, DOJ kickback probes, [huge] hedge fund ties, [$10 million-plus] lobbying budgets, and antitrust violations continue unchecked. They are not only allowed to operate but celebrated as mainstream options. “Why the double standard? Political donations? Foundation smokescreens? Nonprofit status as a PR shield?” These are excellent questions. And here's another challenge: brokers. Ramesh Kumar Budhani wrote about this one, just how hard it is sometimes to find—for TPA, an independent TPA, trying to do the right thing—to find brokers who prioritize doing the right thing for employers and helping their clients save money. The summary of all of this: There are TPAs and there are ASOs who aren't even trying. They are going to ride the flywheel, the gravy train, and catch all of the dollars flying off of it for as long as they can manage to cling to it with all 10 of their fingers. Then there are TPAs, mostly indies, trying super hard to do the right thing. But how successful they are is going to depend on how boxed in they are by the PPO networks or the carriers that the brokers or even plan sponsors may insist on. Just how courageous they are and just how smart they are and experienced they are about the market and how it actually operates. So, the show that follows is about all of this, including how we can inspire TPAs, which, in the show that follows, subsumes ASOs kind of into it. But in the show that follows, I hope it's inspiring to create an environment so that the market demands TPAs that do all of the things, and we make inertia not a viable business strategy.

In this episode of Behind The Decks we checked back in for third time with a VENT favourite, Snowdream. Elliot is someone who has gone from strength to strength in the last few years we've been checking in with him. The first time we checked in, in July 2020 we discussed his music journey, music perfectionism culture and his bisexuality. In Part 2, in June 2023, he had started a new adventure on TikTok making comedy mash-ups. We talked about his experience of doing his first ever live DJ set at Just Checking In Live #4 (Take Two), his debut album ‘Open Space' and how he planned to balance being an artist and social media influencer. In the last two years, Elliot has grown his TikTok following to over 143k followers, and has over 114k followers on Instagram too! We discuss that explosion in popularity and the hard work and consistency which is at the heart of it, his mash-up albums he has put out on Bandcamp, and also moving into producing UK Garage music as an artist. We also discuss his decision to move into music full-time, but then having to go back into full-time work to make ends meet. For Elliot's continued mental health journey, we discuss his experience of his first ever panic attack in July 2024, some CBT therapy he did afterwards which he accessed via the NHS and how he manages his mental health now.

En dus zien we Daan in de zon in een weiland met JJ het laatste nieuws doornemen. De twee praten onder andere over de faire prijs van GTA 6 die Take Two bij monde van de baas heeft beloofd, EA dat geen Dragon Age remake wil en Ubisoft die voor de zoveelste keer info lekt. Ditmaal over een Far Cry TV-serie. Deze onderwerpen en meer kun je zien en horen in de Gamekings Daily van maandag 11 augustus 2025.Maar wat is een faire prijs voor GTA 6?Gamekings Daily is er op alle werkdagen, ook als we in Drenthe een zomerkamp hebben. In deze editie praten Daan en JJ over de uitspraak van Take Two baas Strauss Zelnick dat GTA 6 een faire prijs gaat krijgen. Is fair echter niet iets extreem persoonlijks? En hebben de twee zin aan de Far Cry TV-serie? En waarom lekt er zo vaak iets bij Ubisoft?

What's the point of PepsiCo's new sub-line of prebiotic colas? Is it addressing genuine consumer demand for functional ingredients, or just riding the wellness wave? The hosts once again weigh in. They also highlight emerging shot brands gaining traction and take a closer look at how the viral “WaterTok” phenomenon may have influenced Keurig Dr Pepper's acquisition of Dyla Brands. Show notes: 0:25: Take Two. Fun > Function. We Gotta Have More Ginger. Sturring The Pot. Thin Or Thick? Mike Takes A Hit. – The team kicks things off with behind-the-scenes banter, including a powdered drink spill mishap and Ray's failed frother. The hosts dive into PepsiCo's introduction of a prebiotic cola and debate its real consumer appeal, questioning whether health claims like “prebiotics” are more about marketing than meaningful function. They also discuss the rise of functional shot brands like GNGR Labs and Canada-based Slapp, and highlight Keurig Dr Pepper's acquisition of Dyla Brands, the maker of Stur drink mixes. Ray previews upcoming Taste Radio meetups in Chicago, San Diego, San Francisco, and London., before John samples a new flavor of Xochitl tortilla chips.
