## Resource

Cotiviti ties together providers and payers, including the top 25 US health plans, that collectively serve 300 million members in the United States. In this video, CEO Ric Sinclair describes how the "friction" between providers and payers can be resolved by leveraging smarter infrastructure like what Cotiviti provides. Sinclair looks beyond technology and data, even beyond the use of AI, to talk about how an underlying platform can bring together all the expert insights and reduce the waste in health care. Ultimately, he wants to eliminate denials and appeals by "getting it right the first time" in billing. This requires more than the application of AI in "silos," which he predicts are not sustainable. "Coordination" is a key concept he shares while talking about being a healthcare infrasrtucture company that creates value for its users.
