Thank you to all who tuned in throughout my time on @WhartonPulsePod! Interviewing inspiring healthcare leaders like Todd was an incredible opportunity, and I can't wait to see what next year's new hosts have in store

As Todd describes - Devoted is a 5-part recipe:

1. the MA plan and member support
2. Devoted Health Guide
3. the contracted provider network
4. Devoted Medical
5. Orinoco, proprietary tech platform

Turns out it's expensive to build all of this at once! But it's also paying off

Most importantly, @costplusdrugs can create massive savings for patients. With 2 million members and counting, we're all (besides the PBMs) rooting for @mcuban to expand the CPD offering as far and wide as possible. Thanks for joining us, Mark!

Mark alludes to this, but since we recorded, @costplusdrugs announced a partnership to start selling brand-name insulin drugs from @JanssenGlobal. He mentions that CPD considered producing insulin before prices started to fall without their intervention

We also covered the deep policy roots at @AledadeACO, a team that now includes @dc_cavanaugh, @DrMandyCohen and a number of fmr. @ONC_HealthIT and @CMSGov folks. Of course, no discussion of MSSP policy is complete without a @Travis_Broome twitter thread

And there’s not a crunchbase or pitchbook subscription level high enough to answer all my questions about it
