Episode notes

There are a couple of things that we have to continually on the policy side. Look for informing how the program could be improved. And I think one of the most important statements that we've heard has been an intention to get 100% of Medicare patients in accountable relationships by 2030. That's absolutely incredible. A lot of people would benefit of having their medical debt wiped away.

Founded in 2014, Aledade works with over 11,000 physicians across 40 States accounting for 1.7 million patients under management in Medicare, Medicare Advantage, commercial and Medicaid contracts.

Farzad Mostashari has spent his career in health care policy and Health Information Technology.

Farzad previously served as the National Coordinator for Health IT in the Department of Health and Human Services. Prior to his work at the Office of the National Coordinator, he founded the NYC Primary Care Information project, which equipped physicians and underserved communities with electronic health records. He completed medical school at the Yale School of Medicine and a Master’s degree in Population Health from Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

In this episode we talk about Farzad’s journey to healthcare, how he started Aledade, the importance of independent physicians in value-based care, how Aledade scaled as a profitable health tech company, and advice he has for founders.
