Nashville was founded in 1806 by James Robertson and John Donelson. Robertson was given a parkway. Donelson finally got an Edley's.

I still can’t believe the early 80’s UofH Cougars never won a championship. Olajuwon, Drexler, Young…Phi Slama Jama. Best team to never win it.

@JConnol We used SmartExam from @BrightMD_Health instead of going to urgent care, which was a life saver on a Sunday night when my wife was watching multiple kids and I needed to get to the airport. Had prescription in-hand in <1h. Urgent care had 3h wait.

@JConnol Agreed! And for many low acuity visits, asynchronous may be the preferred approach by doc and patient. Wasteful and inefficient to consume synchronous resources just to bill.

We desperately need to figure out how to reimburse asynchronous care. There's lots of benefits: -Reducing physician burnout, Increasing access to care by improving physician efficiency, -Making care more convenient and patient-centered. statnews.com/2022/01/21/doc…

@jfschneidr @TailorMedTweet Agreed! There is obviously a ton of need for patients, but there’s actually a lot of financial assistance available. However existing tools and processes are so manual and limited in their reach. @TailorMedTweet makes matching patients w/ financial assistance available at scale!

@AustinRDuke Patient facing cost solutions are hard - but @TailorMedTweet is a very interesting approach - I like the idea to close the gap between patient needs and existing support programs!

45% of patients would need financial assistance for bills exceeding $500; 66% would need it for bills exceeding $1k 34% of patients have never received a pre-visit cost estimate 80% of patients are less likely to defer care when affordable payment options are available

Really enjoyed this episode... “Do the portfolio companies that we work with want to work with us? I always say to my team ‘I much prefer to get 4x and be loved and respected than 5x and be despised and feel like we took advantage’” It’s a long game. Be good people.

Impressed by the depth of analysis in this 6k+ word breakdown of Bright Health’s S-1 by @olearykm and Ryan Russell. While Bright is on the road to become the next UHG, will it develop competencies beyond efficient asset acquisition? olearykm.medium.com/bull-or-bear-a…

@greels1 Really enjoyed this! Would love to hear more about the underlying assumptions driving projected ‘21 funding totals. Quite a step-up from previous years(!), but makes sense. I’m expecting growth in rounds sizes outpaces growth in number of deals, but we shall see.
