Show Notes

Martin and Kevin unpack CMMI’s new Access program, focusing on reimbursement rates that landed well below digital health expectations and what that signals about CMS pushing AI-enabled, lower-labor care models. They discuss Humana’s earnings and its $1B Max acquisition, debates over Medicare Advantage costs versus traditional Medicare, healthcare job growth amid AI narratives, and an earnings roundup covering Hinge, Tenet, and Oscar’s ACA and ICHRA momentum.
