The Price Transparency Project has a new home for the conversations we’ve been having off the record for years. We’re excited to announce The Price of Healthcare Podcast.
Conversations with the brightest minds in healthcare finance.
Who you’ll hear from
We want to bring together different perspectives from people who are working to create a functional healthcare market:
Providers
Health system CFOs, managed care and revenue cycle leaders, and people at the forefront of healthcare finance innovation.
Employers
Self-funded employers, benefits advisors, and the plan fiduciaries who are fighting to rein in ever-growing costs.
Advocates and policy makers
Researchers, journalists, and the analysts shining light on a broken system to influence change.
Each episode will go deep with leaders across the spectrum of healthcare finance. You’ll hear what it’s like to be at the table in a real negotiation, the stories behind policy, and evidence that change can happen when employers are equipped to ask the right questions.
Why now
Five years ago this show could not have existed. Hospitals have had to publish their negotiated rates since 2021, and every commercial payer has had to publish theirs, monthly, since 2022. Those payer files now cover roughly 1.7 million care-delivery NPIs, and hospital compliance has climbed from 27% in 2021 to nearly universal today. The data finally got good enough to act on, and a whole profession is learning how.
There’s still such a need for awareness that the right data is out there and usable, and that people are already seeing meaningful change. More than anything, we hope to highlight that no one side of the house is going to fix healthcare pricing. It begins with listening to every stakeholder. Only then can we learn from each other, compromise, and build the healthcare system America deserves.
Our co-founders, Jerry DiMaso and Jacob Little, sat down to talk through exactly that: why we started The Price Transparency Project, why a podcast is the right way to carry it forward, and what they hope comes out of these conversations. Start here.
