The discussion highlights maternal health as a critical area of focus, with successful interventions shown to reduce NICU admissions and overall healthcare costs. Andrews emphasizes the role of self-insured employers in driving systemic changes that align financial incentives with health outcomes.

This encore is very relevant after the shows with Cora Opsahl (EP452), Claire Brockbank (EP453), and Marilyn Bartlett (EP450). Getting better health for the 160 million Americans covered by commercial insurance is all about rates, rights, and power.

13:22 Why compensation that isn’t dependent on outcomes is a problem.

16:23 “Strategy’s not what people say; it’s what they do.”

18:21 How do you operationalize saving money with better outcomes?

26:26 How do employers turn conflict into collaboration?

28:20 What is the win-win-win structure among employers, payers, and providers in Rob’s eyes?
