In today’s episode, Jason and Aaron dive deep into some of the most pressing and timely healthcare news headlines. Our discussion includes proposed changes to prior authorizations, which have the potential to save billions in employee costs, and Best Buy’s expansion of its at-home healthcare service by partnering with healthcare systems. Additionally, we explore the pediatric mental health crisis, a growing problem that requires urgent attention, and the fact that medical debt is predominantly owed to hospitals.
