Heads Up Adviser

In this critical episode, John Sbrocco and Lucas Siegel, CEO of Yuna, tackle the failure of the traditional mental healthcare system. With claims up 69% and a 48-day average wait time to see a therapist, the current model is unsustainable. Lucas introduces a groundbreaking solution: an AI-powered therapist available 24/7.

In this episode, John Sbrocco is joined by Lee Lewis, Chief Strategy Officer of the Health Transformation Alliance, which represents America's largest employers. Lee pulls back the curtain on the cost-containment strategies that actually move the needle for giant corporations, from advanced primary care models to psychedelic therapies for mental health.

In this eye-opening episode, John Sbrocco sits down with Justin Jasniewski, CEO of Serve You RX, to expose the hidden tricks and misaligned incentives within the PBM industry. They reveal why the introduction of Humira biosimilars failed to lower costs and how PBMs use tactics like “product hopping” to keep employers paying top dollar for specialty drugs.

Fourth quarter is here, and with it comes the dreaded renewal season. Employee benefits advisors and employers are seeing shocking increases of 30%, 50%, and even 90%. But why are costs spiraling out of control, and why are so many self-funded plans, captives, and level-funded arrangements failing to deliver on their promise?

In this critical episode, John Sbrocco welcomes Natalia Gertsik of Private Health Management (PHM) to discuss the escalating crisis of high-cost claimants. With million-dollar claims surging by 29% and a mere 3% of claimants now driving over half of all healthcare spend, employers are facing unprecedented challenges.
