What happens when a $1.5B business leader steps into government, and starts questioning how healthcare and EMS are funded?
In this episode, Asbel Montes sits down with Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette to explore the intersection of healthcare finance, public policy, and frontline care delivery.
With a background in scaling a national company across 49 states, Pamela brings a private-sector mindset into public leadership, focused on efficiency, accountability, and measurable outcomes.
But here’s the tension: EMS providers deliver critical care every day… yet many aren’t reimbursed unless a patient is transported.
That gap exposes a larger issue. Healthcare payment models are not aligned with how care is actually delivered.
In this episode, we discuss:
EMS reimbursement and the “treat-no-transport” financial gap.
The growing pressure on rural healthcare systems.
Why must the government adopt private-sector efficiency and accountability.
The role of data, technology, and leadership in healthcare transformation.
How policy and payment reform can support sustainable EMS systems.
Why EMS must have a seat at the table in healthcare decision-making.
As healthcare costs rise and rural systems face increasing strain, leaders must confront a difficult reality:
If reimbursement models don’t evolve, access to care may decline, especially in the communities that need it most.
This conversation is essential for anyone working at the intersection of healthcare finance, policy, and system design.
