Ryan Wells joins The Self-Funded Podcast to explain why getting providers out of debt collection is the key to fixing the doctor-patient relationship.
"If you ask the surgeon how much time they have to spend thinking about the business side of their practice, it's too high... Let's let doctors be doctors." — Ryan Wells
My guest this week is Ryan Wells, Founder and CEO of Health Here. Ryan joins me to explain why the key to fixing the broken doctor-patient relationship is getting providers out of the debt collection business.
We explore how Episodic Care (bundled payments) can finally align the financial incentives of self-funded employers and high-value specialists. Ryan breaks down how his platform automates payments, getting surgeons paid in under 15 days while eliminating patient liability entirely.
We dive deep into Ryan's background in the OR, the lessons learned from the "Metal on Metal" hip recall, and why we need to move from "open enrollment confusion" to real-time, event-driven patient navigation.
If you are tired of administrative waste and want to see a model where doctors focus on care instead of claims, this episode is for you.
