TODAYS GUEST Jonathan Wiik, Principal, TransUnion Healthcare
Jonathan re-joined us to discuss what’s happened since our interview last year when he released his new, Healthcare Revolution: The Patient is the New Payer. Specifically, we discussed the following with Jonathan:
- (4:49) Jonathan, it’s been a year since you released your book, ‘Healthcare Revolution: The Patient is the New Payer’what has changed since we chatted last year?
- (6:44) Have providers made any significant progress in addressing this new reality?
- (11:28) You just came out with a new analysis that shows in fact that patient balances after insurance continue to increase in 2018, driving bad debt and uncompensated care – what are the challenges and risks here?
- (15:52) What are some ways that TransUnion Healthcare is helping providers to combat the revolution?
- (18:30) What can consumers do to cope?
