Welcome to the Season 2 premiere of The Value Shift. We’re kicking off the new season with a deep dive into one of the biggest hurdles in modern medicine: aligning surgical incentives with patient outcomes.
In this episode, host Eric sits down with neurosurgeon Dr. Ahilan Sivaganesan to tackle the fundamental question: How can we get surgeons to value value-based care? The current fee-for-service model often rewards volume over value, leading to “CPT Envy” and misaligned incentives. Dr. Sivaganesan shares his firsthand experience navigating these hurdles—from his viral advocacy on LinkedIn to resolve insurance denials to his work with Mishe Health and Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Wellness to build a direct, transparent healthcare ecosystem.
