Insurance – The 80% Problem: Data Without Borders | Flume Health CEO Cédric Kovacs-Johnson

Today's guest is Cedric Kovacs-Johnson, the founder and CEO of Flume Health - a software platform that orchestrates data through a universal translation layer for payers. We discuss the administration problem in healthcare, Flume's product Relay, and why over 80% of enterprise data in healthcare is locked inside disconnected systems.Cedric shares how his sister’s healthcare journey revealed the true bottleneck in care - the administrative web behind coverage decisions - and how Flume’s platform is helping health plans and vendors speak the same data language. We talk about what happens when innovation meets legacy infrastructure, why trust and simplicity are the keys to unlocking progress, and how startups can bring clarity to one of the world’s most jargon-filled industries. Cedric also reflects on his transition from 3D printing to healthcare and what it takes to turn complex systems into simple, human solutions.
