**032: Open Market Healthcare in Action – Gary Frazier** Feb 05, 2018

On this episode, Gary Frazier joins us to talk about his mission to revolutionize healthcare using free market principles and empowering patients with choice. Gary is the Founder and CEO of OM Healthcare whose mission it is to create consumer-driven healthcare, where patients and doctors are free of the bonds of a third party system to create transparency, efficiency, fair pricing and optimal experience.

Review this Podcast | Subscribe to our Newsletter

Using his 18 years of business development experience and almost 12 years in health leadership roles, Gary began to unpack the current healthcare system and found the biggest constraint in America’s healthcare ecosystem was that free market commerce between providers (doctors, etc.) and patients is being hindered by insurance companies acting as middlemen.

He created Open Market (“OM”) Healthcare as the first direct-to-consumer platform for purchasing healthcare services that leverages direct-pay fee-for-service provider networks and delivers them via an app-based e-commerce platform to self-funded employers (and their employees) as an alternative to traditional insurance-based health plans.

Throughout the episode Gary and Nathan dive into how free market economics could help improve the current US health system. How would that work? Can it work in both the private and public market places? Will this lead to further innovation? Find out all this and more on this episode!

**022: The Brain and How Life Determines Mental Health – Dr. Robert Paul** Nov 20, 2017

On this episode, Dr. Robert Paul shares his insights into the cutting edge research of neuropsychology and the new frontier of treating mental health. We not only discuss his past experiences while working as a clinical neuropsychologist, but also his current research into the workings of our deep brain and how diseases affect it.

Dr. Paul is the Director of the Missouri Institute of Mental Health, a clinical neuroscience psychologist by training, PhD in clinical neuropsychology, and a Professor at the University of Missouri in St. Louis. Primarily, his research program is focused on mechanisms of brain dysfunction in health conditions that primarily impact brain structures located deep beneath the surface of the cerebral cortex.

The research team at the Missouri Institute of Mental Health, lead by Dr. Paul, has developed specific expertise in human immune deficiency syndrome (HIV), subcortical stroke, and early life trauma as three conditions that impact the integrity of deep brain structures including the white matter, basal ganglia, and limbic structures. Neuropsychological methods and neuroimaging techniques are primary research methods applied by Dr. Paul’s team to define behavioral and anatomical signatures of brain dysfunction in these conditions.

During the interview, Dr. Paul expresses his special interest in the application of these methods in resource-limited environments and he has active research programs in South Africa, Africa, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. He is a member of the HIV Cure Consortium and he works closely with collaborators at University of California San Francisco, Brown, Yale, and Washington University.

**014: Can Single Payer Fix the US Health System? – Dr. Ed Weisbart** Sep 25, 2017
On this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ed Weisbart who is a Family Physician as well as the Chair of the Physicians For A National Health Program – Missouri Chapter. He is the former Chief Medical Officer of Express Scripts which initially moved him to St. Louis, but now he practices, teaches at Washington University in St. Louis, and advocates for the creation of single payer healthcare system in America.

Single Payer Health Care is an important topic being talked about now with the healthcare reform going on in Washington D.C.. Many health providers, politicians, and Americans believe that a single payer system, similar to almost all other nations in the world, would help solve the problems with our current American health system.

With Dr. Ed Weisbart today, we discuss what a single payer system would look like in the United States. Starting from the current multi-payer system we have now, how will we pivot to a single payer. What benefits and potential problems would come from an established single payer system. Also, how 25 studies support the economic viability of a single payer system in America.

This conversation is one of the most important topics we have discussed her on The Future of Healthcare. No matter what solution you support or think would work best, it is import to understand all sides and throughly discuss the pros and cons of each option.

**009: Get Out of Your Own Way – Jodie Baudek** Aug 28, 2017
On this podcast I sit down with Jodie Baudek who is motivational speaker, inspirational author, and founder of Essence of Life Studios. We dive deep into the space of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness and how they can help many issues we are facing in healthcare.

One of the biggest topics talked about in healthcare today is Mental Health. One aspect of the problem is how there has been a lack of attention to mental health not just in the patients which we treat but also in all of the providers themselves. While discussing with Jodie about her experiences and expertise, she explains how reconnecting with yourself through yoga and meditation are crucial for laying the foundation for a bountiful life and ultimately having the true impact you strive to have in this world.

Jodie also shares with us about her show Dr. Jim and Jodie which she co-hosts with Dr. Jim Lopez , as well as the two books she has written, Pssst Wanna Get out of Your Own Way? and her newest book Pssst… It Worked!.

• Senior Director of Value-Based Purchasing at the St. Louis Area Business Health Coalition. Prior to that she worked for a large health system and did managed care negations. Prior to she worked at a regional health plan. [02:00]

• The three legs of the healthcare stool. [02:50]

• What has Patti learned about the cost of healthcare. [04:20]

• Almost 50 Years ago Medicare was introduced and that spurred the direction of our health system but there were two big flaws. 1) Fee for service. 2) Any type of medical necessity was not allowed to be interfered with by government or other insurers. [04:30]

• 50 Years later we are now moving towards Payed for Value or Payed for Performance model, which means we are paying for the quality of care provided not the amount of care provided. [05:40]

• How is healthcare set up with the different payers today. On one side you have Medicare and Medicaide, which is the government, and on the other side you have the private insurers which is dominated by the employers. [07:15]

• What did the Affordable Care Act do? Patti Actually read the whole thing. Amazing! [11:35]

• The goals of the ACA were to increase access, reduce costs, and improve quality. [12:25]

• Did the ACA succeed on those three goals? [14:40]

• We dive into what is different between a fee for service and a value based payment system. There is a continuum -> fee for service, paid for performance, patient centered medical homes, shared savings/risk arrangements, and ends with capitation. [21:15]

• We are moving to a model in our healthcare system where providers will get paid more by keeping patients out of the hospital. [29:45]

• Where does Patti see our healthcare truly shifting in the future? [33:40]

• Advice for the future professionals of our healthcare field. [40:55]

“One of the Challenges that providers are having is that they have to live in two different worlds or as I call it, two different canoes. One leg in each canoe where in one canoe they make money having less utilization and in other canoe that make money with less utilization.” [26:20]

Write a 5 Star Review and Subscribe Today!

In this episode I sit down with Dr. Samkon Gado to talk about his journey in Medicine. Entering his gap year between college and medical school he had the opportunity to enter the NFL and was

eventually signed by the packers. That is one hell of a way to spend a gap year! After six seasons, Samkon returned to his pursuit of becoming a physician.

Now in his 3rd year of residency, Dr. Gado is working hard to one day make a global impact. It was very interesting being able to hear from Dr. Gado about how he feels his career in the NFL has transferred over to his current career in medicine. During our conversation we dive deeply into the importance of recognizing not only the physical presence of a patient but their spiritual side as well and how the Lord God plays into our lives. I had a great time sitting down with Dr. Gado and I hope that you all gain value from the experiences he shares as well.
