In the last episode, we discussed how different industry stakeholders are taking advantage and navigating the challenges of the use of consumer data in healthcare. While the industry wrestles with some concerns about data privacy, the question remains: who is working to protect the data of consumers and patients?

In part two of Advisory Board’s series on consumer data, host Rachel Woods invites Advisory Board experts Ty Aderhold, Sara Zargham, and Paul Trigonoplos to discuss one stakeholder that is making moves to protect data privacy: the FTC. In the conversation, they explore recent regulatory actions taken by the FTC and what this means for the industry.

The Dumb Idea Podcast

Government GoodRx??!

GoodRx is an amazing tool for lowering prescription drug costs. Hundreds of dollars can be saved on each refill. So why is it when the government tried to tackle healthcare via the Affordable Care Act 10+ years ago, they weren't able to reduce prescription drug costs as effectively as GoodRx has done? And at ZERO additional cost to the consumer??? Was this the perfect solution we need? And with it being as good as it is and proven to save people money, why isn't the government advertising this for our seniors who struggle with high prescription costs through Medicare and Medicaid? We're truly baffled in this episode.

Most often, healthcare consumers do not know the real cost of health services. Whether it is a bed in a hospital, a prescription drug, or a procedure like an MRI, the price is usually buried beneath government regulations, insurance forms, and confusing terminology.

In this episode, we first hear from John about how a recent brief hospital visit to deal with kidney stones turned into a $20,000 surprise. Fortunately, his insurance paid most of the bill, but if he had known the true cost, he might have made different decisions. David Balat, a former hospital CEO and now a policy healthcare advocate focusing on the costs of healthcare, explains consumers have the right to proper billing, how to understand the real cost of healthcare, and what resources are available for shopping for healthcare.
