Are you tired of the "lazy way" to cut healthcare costs—just increasing deductibles and co-pays? In this episode, we’re talking to someone who calls that approach what it is: the definition of insanity. Host Ramesh Kumar welcomes Adam V. Russo, Esq.—co-founder and visionary of The Phia Group, LLC, an innovative cost containment leader and attorney who represents employers and plan fiduciaries across the U.S. Adam is here to break down the secrets of delivering a great healthcare experience on a self-funded plan. You'll learn: • Why Direct Primary Care (DPC) is being called the "best" plan design choice for both employee retention and health, with studies showing a 13% reduction in overall claim spend in the first year. • How Adam's company, a successful self-funded employer, leveraged DPC to personally circumvent a $6,000 to $10,000 ER bill for just $80 a month. • The critical need for a complete employee mindset shift and a five-year education plan to truly win at cost management. Don’t miss this powerful conversation on why increasing cost-sharing measures has failed, and how DPC offers a path to long-term success. Tune in now!

S1E11: AI and Prescription Price Transparency, with Miriam Paramore, Founder and CEO of RxUtility On this episode, host Dr. Heather Bassett welcomes Miriam Paramore, founder and CEO of RxUtility, discussing a problem most patients don't realize exists: prescription drug prices are opaque, highly variable across pharmacies, and can fluctuate multiple times in a single day — leaving patients to discover the real cost only when they reach the counter. Miriam explains how RxUtility functions as a utility layer across health systems, payers, pharmacists, and digital health partners, aggregating insurance copays, manufacturer coupons, cash prices, and direct-to-consumer options into a single, actionable view at the point of prescribing and pickup. Miriam shares how she built RxUtility from inception with a small team by leaning on AI in place of traditional legal, financial, and operational roles — and what that taught her about the real-world limits and potential of agentic AI in healthcare. Dr. Bassett and Miriam also discuss Mimi™, RxUtility's generative AI orchestrator managing real-time pricing data across 20,000 drugs and 60,000 pharmacies, and their shared belief that AI should enhance clinical efficiency to bring more human connection to patient care.

Skin Cancer Alternative Treatment Option with Joeseph Sardano, CEO at Sensus Healthcare. There is a "new" alternative to surgery for treating skin cancer. Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) uses photon radiotherapy that penetrates only 5mm to treat skin cancer without cutting, bleeding, or scarring. Comparable cure rates matching the gold standard of Mohs surgery. For many patients, this is a better patient experience with no stitches, no healing downtime, and no activity restrictions. Patients can golf, swim, and live normally during the 3–4 week treatment course. Good news as it is now covered by Medicare as SRT has its own CPT code, making reimbursement clear for dermatologists and affordable for patients. So for those with this diagnosis, have the conversation and ask your dermatologist about new options available.
