Episode 156: CEO Siva Namasivayam on Cohere Health’s Mission to Use Digital Health Technology for the Transformation of Utilization Management into Proper Care Management

Payers and providers spend unnecessary time and energy approving medical and diagnostic procedures. CEO and Co-Founder Siva Namasivayam, believing that the digital health market has yet to leverage the full power of technology, launched Cohere Health in 2019 to transform utilization management into proper care management.
