New podcast aims to alleviate the pain of making healthcare decisions for employers and consumers alike
NEW YORK — Employers are often overwhelmed by the daunting task of managing healthcare expenditures, and consumers are craving more transparency and clarity when it comes to understanding their policies and benefits.
Ray Kober, the founder of Benefixa, a health insurance agency specializing in mid- to large-market businesses, further explores this issue.
Now, Kober brings his decades of expertise into the intricacies of healthcare expenses and insurance company operations to listeners everywhere through his eye-opening new podcast, “Broken Healthcare.”
Through interviews with thought leaders, solution providers, medical professionals and everyday people who share their personal experiences, Kober sheds light on the complexities of healthcare and empowers listeners with insights on how to pay less and access high-quality care — concerns for the general public as well as for businesses for which healthcare is typically the number one expense after payroll.
With keen observations and practical counsel, Kober urges his listeners to seize control of their healthcare by scrutinizing and questioning medical service costs, akin to how they approach the purchase of other consumer goods.
“There absolutely is something they can do to reduce the cost and improve the quality of their health care,” Kober said.
Episodes currently available to listeners include
• Uncovering the Hidden Costs of Healthcare;
• How Direct Primary Care is Changing Lives;
• AI’s Role in Reducing Healthcare Costs;
• Transforming Diabetes Care; and
• The Power of Telemedicine, among others.
Future topics of note include a discussion about vaccines and the efficacy of wearing masks as well as an interview with a former Cigna executive turned whistleblower.
“Broken Healthcare” doesn’t just expose the inefficiencies and complexities within the healthcare landscape; it serves as a clarion call for both consumers and employers to demand transparency, enabling them to make better-informed decisions about their healthcare.
“Whether grappling with insurance policies, overseeing health benefits for a company or simply seeking clarity on the actual expenses of a doctor’s appointment, this podcast furnishes listeners with indispensable guidance and empowerment in the pursuit of a more transparent and accessible healthcare system,” Kober added.
The “Broken Healthcare” podcast is available on YouTube and most podcast platforms, including Apple and Spotify.
