Can Healthcare Claims Be Adjudicated in Real-Time? w/ Don Peterson, Founder & CEO, PIM Health

Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail American hospitals now spend nearly $2 on administrative overhead for every dollar that touches direct patient care. Insurers earn billions in float by sitting on claims for weeks, providers borrow money just to stay liquid, and patients open bills for visits they barely remember. Don Peterson, Founder and CEO of PIM Health, joins host David E. Williams to discuss why healthcare's payment system is working exactly as it was designed to work, and how real-time claims adjudication at the point of care could eliminate prior authorization as it currently exists, cut administrative overhead from 12 to 15 percent down to 2 to 3 percent, and return hundreds of billions of dollars in waste back to patients, providers, and plan sponsors. ️️ABOUT DON PETERSON Don Peterson is a healthcare entrepreneur and technology executive with over 30 years of experience building and scaling companies across technology and healthcare. He held senior roles at AMD during the semiconductor boom, founded DeskStation Technology in 1990 (acquired by Samsung), and in 2012 founded IVX Health, building the operating model for ambulatory infusion centers from the ground up.
