1/ After residency at Mass General Hospital, I reported to Atlanta to meet my fellow CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers.
I have never felt so intimidated by my peers

This is not fine

CBO estimates that the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation’s (CMMI’s) activities increased federal spending between 2011 and 2020 and will also increase it, by $1.3 billion, from 2021 to 2030. In 2010, CBO projected that CMMI would produce savings. https://t.co/ZtE1xsdCor

@mshlcurrie@dp_oneill@dc_cavanaugh@alikhan28@cmonsen@brandonksim When PCP (other physicians too) takes total cost of care risk, most health plans, including CMS, shares patient level claims history. Diagnosis, etc. are important for continuum of care. Besides, no other effective way to manage total cost of care.
1/ As CEO of a mission-oriented company, the question that frustrated me the most?
“Yes, Farzad, I know you mean well, but your ultimate, legal responsibility is to maximize shareholder profits. Period.”

A meditation (and a reveal) on what duty we owe, to whom
YES, PLEASE.
There are several administrative functions that private insurers run poorly, with malign consequences for patients and the health services marketplace, but unusable provider directories have to top the list.
