Summary

In this episode of Relentless Health Value, Stacey Richter engages with Mark Newman, CEO and founder of Nomi Health, in a deep dive into the administrative and transactional inefficiencies plaguing the American healthcare system. The conversation highlights how plan sponsors often spend more than a dollar to purchase healthcare, yet healthcare providers receive only a fraction of that amount due to data fragmentation and varied accounting practices. Mark Newman reveals two main issues: 'data isn't data' and 'a dollar isn't a dollar,' explaining how inconsistencies and misalignments in data and accounting methods lead to significant waste. The discussion also explores innovative solutions Nomi Health is piloting to streamline payments, reduce friction, and ultimately lower healthcare costs while improving care. === LINKS === 🔗 Show Notes with all mentioned links: https://cc-lnk.com/EP496 🔗 Visit our sponsor Nomi Health: https://www.nomihealth.com/ ✉️ Enjoy this podcast?
