Picture this: a healthcare system that doesn't discriminate based on income, geography, or social status. A system where everyone, regardless of their background, has equal access to quality medical care. Unfortunately, the reality we face today is far from this ideal. Healthcare disparities, soaring costs, and a lack of access have created a chasm that separates those who can afford care from those who cannot.
In this episode, Shawn Nason interviews Dr. YiDing Yu setting out on a crucial mission—to explore the intricacies of bridging the divide in healthcare. They discuss the core issues in healthcare, including misaligned incentives between patients, providers, and payers, and the need to empower patients and improve the payment system. Dr. YiDing Yu emphasizes the importance of making incremental changes and leveraging technology, such as artificial intelligence, to streamline processes like prior authorizations.
