Reimbursement. Advocacy. Incentives. Systems.
In the latest episode of @Strive_Podcast, I speak with Ed Gaines, healthcare reimbursement expert and coding educator, about the economic infrastructure that quietly shapes modern medicine. We explore how reimbursement policy influences clinical behavior, why most physicians graduate without understanding the payment systems that govern their work, and how documentation, coding, and payer contracts ultimately determine whether care is sustainable. We also break down the real implications of the No Surprises Act, the growing burden of prior authorization, and how evolving payer practices are reshaping the future of physician autonomy. Ed shares why independent practices may be regaining leverage, how transparency in pricing could rebalance negotiations with health plans, and why young physicians must develop fluency in contracts, reimbursement policy, and advocacy early in their careers. A timely conversation on the intersection of medicine, policy, and economics, and why understanding the business of healthcare is becoming essential to protecting the practice of medicine itself.

Stroke. Systems. Scale. Leadership.
In the latest episode of @Strive_Podcast, I speak with Dr. Elad Levy, neurosurgeon, innovator, and Chair of Neurosurgery at the University at Buffalo, about what it actually takes to build a paradigm shift in modern medicine. We explore the mechanical thrombectomy revolution and the landmark SWIFT PRIME trial that helped redefine stroke care, the systems redesign required to deliver time-sensitive neurovascular treatment at scale, and the creation of Atlas, the nation’s first ambulatory neurosurgery center. We also dive into the innovation infrastructure behind the Jacobs Institute, leadership metrics that truly matter, and how physicians can think beyond the operating room to design teams, institutions, and care models that endure. A powerful conversation on translating bold ideas into durable systems.
