Health Tech Nerds RadioThe state of behavioral health: demand, supply, direct-to-consumer, and emerging treatments | Alli Oakes (Trilliant Health)Alli Oakes, Chief Research Officer at Trilliant Health, walks through Trilliant's behavioral health report across demand, supply, and emerging treatments.On demand, roughly one in four Americans is affected by a mental or behavioral health condition, and untreated costs extend well beyond direct care — unmanaged behavioral health issues exacerbate physical conditions and drive expensive downstream utilization including ED visits.On supply, the picture is more nuanced than a simple shortage story. Psychiatry residency slots have grown 55% since 2018 and fill at 99%, suggesting insufficient positions rather than insufficient interest. Meanwhile, allied health providers and primary care physicians no...

Health Tech Nerds RadioWhy so few patients access palliative care, and how Empassion is addressing that | Robin Heffernan (Empassion)Hospice and palliative care remain widely misunderstood and underused, leading many seriously ill patients in their final year of life to endure unmanaged symptoms, little advance care planning, and avoidable ER visits and hospitalizations. Empassion CEO, Robin Heffernan, explains supportive care, distinguishing palliative care (any stage) from hospice (typically the last six months), and describes Empassion's model: contracting with payers so care is free to patients, curating a nationwide network of in-home providers, and using technology to coordinate care across teams in 45 states.The conversation covers large quality variation across 5,000+ hospice agencies, Empassion Assured as a...

For roughly 40 years, pregnancy and childbirth were paid for as a single bundled payment. Starting January 2027, care will be paid for through individual CPT codes.Neel walks through why the bundle is ending. Team-based care has made the original model increasingly difficult to administer, and the bundle was stifling innovation by failing to account for 40 years of technological change in maternity care.

Health Tech Nerds RadioHow CMS Administered Risk Arrangements (CARA) bridge the gap between ACOs and specialists | Will Gordon (Manatt Health)Will Gordon, senior advisor at Manatt Health and former CMMI Chief Informatics Officer, explains CARA (a voluntary component of the ACO REACH/LEAD model starting in 2027) and why it matters for value-based care in specialties. He outlines three converging themes: episode-based bundles—especially surgical/orthopedic—have shown savings (often from post-acute care); ACOs have struggled to operationalize bundles due to contracting, attribution, and reconciliation complexity; and specialists have largely remained outside value-based care. CARA aims to bridge these gaps by letting ACOs and specialists set up CMS-facilitated episode-based risk arrangements via a web-based portal, using predef...

Three key changes: bringing specialists formally into total cost of care models for the first time; collapsing the standard and high-needs tracks so ACOs don't have to choose; and piloting AI-inferred risk adjustment, which would derive risk scores from utilization patterns rather than requiring providers to document HCC codes.

Chris explains the roughly 40 bps increase, continued normalization of coding risk patterns, a delay in further model updates given V28’s early implementation, and the finalization of the unlinked chart review policy to curb risk-coding and revenue-cycle games. He frames “stability” as predictability for payers/providers and consistent choice and access for beneficiaries, while emphasizing program sustainability and a push t...

Drawing on a long-term view of the market, he argues that recent policy changes are less about breaking MA and more about “rationalizing” a program that grew rapidly during a period of generous funding and benefit expansion. As CMS pulls dollars out of the system, the key question becomes where that pressure lands—plans, providers, or beneficiaries—and Neil’s view is that the next phase will favor operators who can truly manage total cost...

Health Tech Nerds RadioMore effective depression treatments exist—so why aren’t they used? Everbright on TMS, esketamine, and the barriers to prescribing | Ben KuhnPsychiatry still relies heavily on medication management and talk therapy, leaving many patients—especially those with treatment-resistant depression—cycling through SSRIs without response, despite FDA-approved options like TMS (approved 2008) and Spravato/esketamine (approved 2019) that show roughly twice the effectiveness versus standard treatments. Ben Kuhn, co-founder and CEO of Everbright Health, explains why these interventions haven’t become routine in independent practices: complex, frequently changing payer eligibility criteria, provider discomfort discussing specialized treatments, onerous prior auth, and the operational/compliance burden of running a new service line.

Nový světNový svět #146: Donald Trump a jeho domácí a zahraniční politikaAmerický prezident Donald Trump prožívá hektické časy. Ať chce či nechce – a zdá se, že spíš nechce – musí věnovat pozornost válce na Ukrajině, která ho zjevně obtěžuje a unavuje. Osud „Trumpova mírového plánu“, jenž nese, zdá se, „ruskou stopu“, ale který někteří politici i některá média přesto označují za „nadějný“, je zatím nejasný – uvidíme. Totéž platí o budoucnosti Venezuely – Trump evidentně váhá; v případě „ropného Eldoráda“ jde skutečně o hodně, stejně jako v případě jeho domácí hospodářské politiky. Midterms jsou už za necelý rok a právě jejich výsledek rozhodne do značn...

Po pár letech následovalo odebrání tlustého střeva a stomie – uměle vytvořený vývod na břiše, na který je nalepený speciální sáček na vyměšování. Protože před lety bylo toto téma tabu, rozhodla se Tereza – tehdy ještě pod hlavičkou pacientské organizace ILCO – začít psát blog Nejsem tabu.
