In this episode, Eric Demers, CEO of Madaket Health, talks about the growing issue of healthcare access and cost in the U.S., even for insured individuals. Madaket commissioned a national survey to better understand how bad provider data impacts patients, finding that nearly half of Americans delay care because they can’t find in-network providers, especially millennials, who are more likely to seek alternative care routes. Demers explains that the root cause is outdated, inaccurate, and poorly synchronized provider data, worsened by the lack of national standards and inconsistent systems across payers and providers. Even vertically integrated health systems suffer from internal data mismatches. Madaket Health aims to fix this by acting as a data bridge between payers and providers, leveraging its platform, used by over 80% of U.S. providers, to keep information up-to-date and aligned, improving directories and patient access to care.
