Why hasn't a decade of value-based care bent the cost curve? On this episode host Fred Goldstein talks with David Muhlestein, PhD, JD, founder and CEO of Simple Healthcare, about the variable health reform has largely left alone: price. Drawing on years of ACO research and on federal price transparency data, Muhlestein explains how the same provider can be paid very different amounts for the same billing code depending on the insurer, why episode-level analysis beats claim-level repricing, and how self-insured employers can act on the gap through steerage, reference-based pricing, direct contracting and centers of excellence. He also unpacks "ghost rates," the negotiated prices listed for services providers never perform, which make up the large majority of insurer transparency files, and previews a consumer tool that uses AI to translate plain-language questions into total episode prices.

Securing the Machine Workforce: Identity, Zero Trust, and the Recovery Plan for When It Still Goes Wrong with Ben Smith of SailPoint Zero trust sounds simple until you try to implement it in a hospital where clinicians share devices, legacy systems can't be segmented, patients access care virtually across state lines, and AI agents are multiplying faster than you can inventory them. Add ambient AI documenting patient encounters, remote patient monitoring streaming data 24/7, and third-party algorithms making clinical recommendations, and suddenly "healthcare everywhere" becomes a CISO's nightmare. This panel cuts through the theory to reveal what actually works when you're securing distributed care, AI-powered workflows, and thousands of identities, human and non-human, that don't fit traditional security models. • Implementing zero trust without disrupting patient care or alienating clinicians • Taking control of AI agent identities • Medical device segmentation when legacy won't retire • Adaptive identity for clinicians and patients • Measuring security success in healthcare everywhere To stream our Station live 24/7 visit www.HealthcareNOWRadio.com or ask your Smart Device to “….Play Healthcare NOW Radio”.
