  • Volume/Voice Feedback

    Great podcast with great topics! Only feedback (minor) is that the main host’s (Rachel) voice often trails off at the end of her sentences and on certain words which makes it hard to hear and I end up having to make frequent volume changes. Please encourage her to level out the intonation of her voice for an easier listening experience. Thanks for all you do!

  • Diluted value

    Bloated delivery of industry truisms and corporate speak packaged as insight, constantly interrupted by the host’s pointless, agreeable interjections.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

289: What are health systems doing in 2026? Results from our survey are in.
Q: What is your most recent research look like and what are the headlines you found so far?
The survey shows growth across volume, revenue, and margins but with a clear gap between revenue growth and operating margin; operational excellence and deliberate, scale-efficient growth are the differentiators. Health systems remain bullish on growth, prioritizing patient care and access, with service line growth as a key margin lever.
288: Health policy update: VBC, site-neutral payments, and 340B
Q: Chloe, where does 340B stand amid reform chatter and court activity, and what should providers do now?
Expect continued disruption and reform signals rather than a fixed path; monitor data collection efforts, participate in public comment opportunities, and use scenario planning tools to model potential rebate and discount changes, while watching state-level reporting requirements as precursors to federal policy shifts.
288: Health policy update: VBC, site-neutral payments, and 340B
Q: Nick, what should leaders focus on regarding site neutral payments and related site-of-care levers?
Understand the potential expansion to all off-campus hospital outpatient departments, the inclusion of additional services like imaging and procedures, and simultaneously prepare for ancillary policy shifts such as the inpatient-only list changes and CON reforms to support a coherent ambulatory strategy.
288: Health policy update: VBC, site-neutral payments, and 340B
Q: Clare, bearing in mind the conversation so far, what decisions healthcare leaders need to be making today to prepare for changes to VBC across 2026?
Leaders should prioritize educating themselves on the new CMS models, act quickly to understand deadlines and apply where possible, and begin building an ambulatory strategy that reflects the broader move toward value-based care while evaluating ROI and operational readiness for new rules.
286: A Medicare Advantage reset — and what comes next
Q: So what is unique about the headwinds in Medicare Advantage right now?
There's a combination of financial and clinical challenges affecting MA payers.
