episode Kraft Heinz Suing Aetna artwork
Kraft Heinz Suing Aetna

Two heavyweights will be duking it out in the court system over problems with access to claim information as Kraft Heinz is suing Aetna over lack of access to critical data. Most large companies often self-insure their health plan. This means that they are responsible for paying claims up to a certain amount before separate insurance often kicks in called stop-loss. Since most businesses are not in the business of insurance they often partner with what is called a Third Party Administrator (TPA) to process and pay claims. Large insurance companies often also offer TPA services since they have the infrastructure in place. In order for this relationship to be successful it has to have transparency on both sides. Employers who are concerned about their healthcare costs will want to look at their claims history to see if there are any areas where they can control costs. The problem is when they are unable to get this information there is nothing they can do. This seems to be the heart of the issue between these two companies as Kraft Heinz is alleging that Aetna is withholding this important data.

Healthcare Labor Trends 2023 Reveal Provider Burnout, Executive Stress

We have reported previously on the ensuing crisis we face with regard to looming healthcare worker shortages. The biggest driver for this is demographics in that the baby boomer generation was much larger than other generations and as they continue to retire there may not be enough new workers to replace them. The system has failed to train more and now more angst from healthcare workers after the pandemic could exacerbate this problem even worse. We discuss these factors in this segment. Here is a link to the previous segment with more on this topic: https://soundcloud.com/americascanary/healthcare-clinicians-are-burned-out Here is the link to the article referred to in this segment: https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/healthcare-labor-trends-2023/641352/ FOLLOW ME ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/AmericasCanary LINKEDIN: www.linkedin.com/company/edbellis/ INSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/americascanary/

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
