episode GLP-1s Aren't Right for Everyone: Wiser Healthcare Consumption w/ Al Lewis artwork
GLP-1s Aren't Right for Everyone: Wiser Healthcare Consumption w/ Al Lewis

“Just because it’s healthcare, doesn’t mean it’s good for you.”  Al Lewis joins MTVA for a lively discussion on patient education, nutrition, and overconsumption of healthcare. After a doctor’s visit for hoarseness where he was recommended unnecessary testing, Al decided to use his background in Trivia and create a new tool for patient health literacy. Quizzify was born!  Quizzify [https://www.quizzify.com/about] is designed to promote health literacy in an engaging, user-friendly format – helping make patients better consumers of healthcare.  The conversation centers on Quizzify’s program for GLP-1 weight loss drugs [https://www.quizzify.com/glp1curriculum], which aims to “dissuade the curious, and educate the serious.” This dual goal can help reduce unnecessary spend on expensive medications, and equip those who start GLP-1s to have a higher chance of success in transitioning off.  Al and MTVA also discuss the importance of lifestyle change, which is made more challenging by deceiving nutrition labels and the relatively higher cost of more nutritious foods.  “Bad calories have become vastly less expensive, and good calories have become vastly more expensive.” ———————————— We’re excited to welcome like-minded organizations and individuals to join the MTVA Membership program!  As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on support from our grassroots network to advance our mission of creating a value-based health system with high-quality patient outcomes at a reasonable cost. We’re proud to offer two membership models, Ally Member and Trade Member.

Choosing to be Optimistic: Challenges and Inspiration for the Value Movement w/ Stacey Richter

The Moving to Value Alliance (MTVA) has been promoting value in health care for over 7 years. Though we’ve seen some progress, spending is steadily rising, many health outcomes remain unchanged, and burnout is a real problem for healthcare professionals. It can be easy to feel discouraged, but that’s not what MTVA – nor our special guest this week – stand for.  “I feel like it’s a choice in a way to be pessimistic or optimistic. You know that change is slow until it’s really fast, that’s how it always works.” Who better to discuss the state of the movement to value in healthcare than Stacey Richter?! As host of the top healthcare podcast Relentless Health Value [https://relentlesshealthvalue.com/], Stacey is usually the one asking questions – she’s interviewed hundreds of experts from all corners of the industry. We’re honored she let us turn the tables for this conversation with MTVA Board Members.  Stacey is tuned into the healthcare landscape. In this episode, we learn about her “why” and  discuss the role of technology and operational excellence, the importance of primary care, and how the term “value” has been coopted. Stacey is hopeful for the future, and she points to the local level for sources of inspiration.  “I firmly believe that when enough people begin to push in the same direction, when the reputational damage starts to happen from people who are overly putting profits over patients in really obvious and unpalatable ways, that's when things start to change.”  In addition to hosting Relentless Health Value, Stacey is co-president of QC Health [https://www.qc-health.org/] – a public benefit corporation finding cost-effective ways to improve the health of Americans. MTVA Board Member John Rodis, MD works with Stacey as the Benefit Director of QC Health.   Stacey is also co-president of Aventria Health Group [https://www.aventriahealth.com/], a consultancy working with clients who endeavor to form collaborations with payers, providers, pharma, employer organizations or patient advocacy groups.

PBM Problems (Part 4): Challenges & Solutions for Independent Pharmacies w/ National Community Pharmacists Association

Pharmacists are one of the most trusted professions, yet more and more pharmacies are closing. A recent survey [https://benjaminjolley.substack.com/p/2275-pharmacies-have-closed-so-far?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=72487&post_id=148814481&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=21b848&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email] found 2275 pharmacies have closed so far this year, and every day independent pharmacies are shuttering their doors – often leaving “pharmacy deserts” in their wake.  Vertically-consolidated Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) have made it practically impossible for local pharmacies to survive, and we’re all paying the price.  But independent pharmacists are speaking out and pushing back – and they’ve secured wins!  General Counsel for the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) Matt Seiler joins MTVA to discuss the current state of community pharmacy, how “shareholder capitalism” got us here, and what comes next. NCPA [https://ncpa.org/about] is the voice for independent pharmacy, representing the interests of nearly 19,000 community pharmacies across the country.  Despite the challenges facing his industry, Matt is optimistic that desperately-needed PBM reform is on the horizon.  “If there’s one thing that’s brought the political parties together in our country, it’s the dislike for pharmacy benefit managers.”  Listen to learn more about the unique role community pharmacists play in the health system, why PBM consolidation is particularly acute at the local level, and how NCPA has helped secure bipartisan support for reining in PBMs.  Check out the other episodes in our “PBM Problems” series:  Part 1 w/ ERISA Attorney Paul Holmes [https://www.movingtovalue.org/podcast/episode/ee7684d9/pbm-problems-part-1-who-do-brokers-and-consultants-really-work-for-risks-for-plan-sponsors-with-erisa-attorney-paul-holmes] Part 2 w/ Mutual Rx CEO Roy Wilkinson [https://www.movingtovalue.org/podcast/episode/dd2356a4/pbm-problems-part-2-transparency-and-disrupting-the-status-quo-with-mutual-rx-ceo-roy-wilkinson] Part 3 w/ Luke Slindee, PharmD [https://www.movingtovalue.org/podcast/episode/273a1f16/pbm-problems-part-3-monopoly-power-in-prescription-drug-markets-with-luke-slindee] ———————————— We’re excited to welcome like-minded organizations and individuals to join the MTVA Membership program!  As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on support from our grassroots network to advance our mission of creating a value-based health system with high-quality patient outcomes at a reasonable cost.

Retail Health Failures: Misaligned Incentives and Misunderstanding Primary Care w/ Brian Klepper

Many successful companies have ventured into the healthcare space and failed.  Why can’t businesses that are household names make it work in our industry? Where do retail investments in health care go wrong? What is missing from their approach to primary care?  Health care reform legend Brian Klepper joins MTVA to explain the pitfalls companies make and why they can’t seem to nail down a sustainable business model.  “There is no such thing in health care as ‘health care lite.’”  Brian Klepper, PhD [https://proven.healthcare/dr-brian-klepper-phd/] is one of the nation’s top voices on realizing the potential of primary care, high-performance healthcare, and management of clinical and financial risk. Brian’s writing has been recognized as among the most influential in healthcare, he led several national healthcare reform efforts favoring patient and healthcare purchaser interests, and last year he was honored with the lifetime achievement “Champions in Transparency Rosie Award” from The Health Rosetta [http://www.healthrosetta.org]. Brian is the CEO of Proven Health and the Founder and Moderator of the Healthcare Benefits Hackers listserv. “We could do it a lot better, but we’ve got to have the incentives aligned. There’s no way around that.” Join the Healthcare Benefits Hackers forum: https://proven.healthcare/healthcare-hackers/ [https://proven.healthcare/healthcare-hackers/]  ———————————— We’re excited to welcome like-minded organizations and individuals to join the new MTVA Membership program!  As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on support from our grassroots network to advance our mission of creating a value-based health system with high-quality patient outcomes at a reasonable cost.

PBM Problems (Part 3): Monopoly Power in Prescription Drug Markets w/ Luke Slindee

We all know the cost of prescription drugs in the U.S. is a problem. How did we get here and what can we do about it?   This week, MTVA Board Members Dr. John Rodis and Dr. Steven Schutzer are joined by MTVA Executive Director Laura Wadsten for an engaging discussion with Senior Pharmacy Consultant ⁠Luke Slindee⁠ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/luke-slindee-pharm-d-034946160/], PharmD.  Luke is a second-generation pharmacist who has witnessed first-hand how hidden money flows and increasingly powerful players have hurt his fellow pharmacists, communities, and patients. He’s spent years studying the economics and power dynamics of the pharmacy supply chain, and in this episode he shares some solutions to these problems.  Tune in to learn more about the monopolies and oligopolies influencing drug costs, key differences in generic and brand markets, and how cash-only independent pharmacies can help solve this crisis.
