EP501: Speaking of Infusions, Do You Want to Pay $135 or Do You Want to Pay $13,560 for the Exact Same Drug? With Ivana Krajcinovic, PhD
Q: How can plan sponsors and unions push back against these non-market dynamics?
Drill into data, push for direct contracts with independent providers, carve out utilization management to the contracted providers, and coordinate care with value-based steering and patient-support services to shift volumes to higher-value settings.
EP501: Speaking of Infusions, Do You Want to Pay $135 or Do You Want to Pay $13,560 for the Exact Same Drug? With Ivana Krajcinovic, PhD
Q: What are the main tells that there is no real market for infusion services in healthcare?
Wild price variations without corresponding shifts in demand, lazy or non-competitive networks, and the persistence of high-cost infusions despite cheaper, high-quality alternatives signal a non-market environment where prices aren't being rationalized by true supply and demand.
EP499: Self-insured Employers and Other Plan Sponsors Are Paying Millions for MSK (Musculoskeletal) Injuries That Would Have Healed Themselves, With Jay Kimmel, MD
Q: What do you mean by white space in relation to MSK?
White space refers to the moment when someone has an orthopedic problem and does not know what to do, leading them often down an expensive and low-value care path.

Q: How does the cost of healthcare transactions compare to other industries?
Healthcare transactions cost hundreds to thousands of times more than those in other industries, with transactions that should ideally be much cheaper due to standardization coming at a high price.
