Are health insurance companies making money by denying patients the medical care they need?
Dr. Matthew Sloan welcomes Bryan Khoo, a Stanford graduate and incoming medical student at Washington University whose investigations into healthcare economics and insurance company practices have attracted national attention, including responses from Mark Cuban.
They explore why American healthcare continues to become more expensive, how prior authorization decisions are made, why some insurance denials are never appealed, and the growing controversy surrounding Medicare Advantage.
Bryan shares his perspectives on artificial intelligence in insurance reviews, post-surgical payment denials, corporate consolidation, physician reimbursement, and the future of independent medical practices.
The conversation also examines how insurance company financial incentives may influence patient access to surgery and what reforms could help restore the physician-patient relationship.
Who should control medical decisions: doctors or insurance companies?
