About this episode

The episode discusses the systemic blind spots in healthcare spending and how to navigate them with transparency and accountability.

Why do savvy business leaders track every penny of office spend but ignore the "black box" of what's often their second-largest expense? With renowned healthcare advisor Ann Lewandowski, we dive into the systemic blind spots that make it difficult for even the most sophisticated plan sponsors to manage healthcare with the same fiduciary rigor they apply to other parts of their business. Lewandowski breaks down how to navigate the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) as a North Star for transparency, the hidden pitfalls of high-deductible plans and how to build a 21st-century healthcare system with trust, accountability and patient-centered care at the core.
