Becker’s Healthcare Podcast

GLP wants Medicare Advantage headwinds, a Medicaid landscape that looks different every quarter. Payer leadership right now means making durable decisions in an environment that keeps moving and the organizations pulling ahead are the ones that stopped waiting for stability before acting. Becker's fifth annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable convenes more than 500 executive level attendees and 70 plus speakers November 2nd and 3rd at the Swiss Hotel Chicago.

Two days of senior level dialogue on affordability, benefit design, value-based care, and the strategies shaping how care gets financed and delivered. Featuring a celebrity keynote from Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmett Smith. Agenda and registration at BeckersPayer.com. Click events in the upper right. This is Scott Becker with the Becker's Healthcare Podcast. I'm thrilled today to be joined by brilliant journalist and leader Jakob Emerson.

Jakob covers the payer side and does it better than anybody in the country. Jakob, usually you take us through a couple issues, stories that you're following. That's when we just set this up for our audience. What are you watching currently in the payer arena, the payer sector? What's top of mind currently? Yeah, for sure. Well, good to talk to you, Scott. It's been a while.

I thought today we could take things in a slightly different direction in terms of something that I actually went to in person last week, recording this at the end of June. And it led to a lot of, I would say, different stories or different insights that I can kind of detail for you. But I think it's important here because it's about UnitedHealthcare, UnitedHealth Group, of course, the largest insurer in the country.
