About the show

The people behind the prices

Every episode goes 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.

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.

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.
