Our goal is to help patients navigate the complex and often confusing world of the US healthcare system. In each episode, we discuss important topics, such as how to choose a healthcare provider, how to understand your insurance coverage, & how to advocate for yourself as a patient. We also interview healthcare experts and patients to provide a range of perspectives on these topics.Building the Noise will also provide transparency into the many different elements of the healthcare system including: -Pharmaceutical Companies-Biotech Companies-Medical Device Organizations-Insurance Companies (Payers)-Pharmacy Benenfits Managers (PBMs)-and much more!We will conduct live interviews with industry leaders to provide you with transparency on how these organizations are looking to aid patients and change the healthcare system for the better. By conducting these deep, hard-hitting interviews, I hope to gain a better understanding of the work of these leaders and how they are working to support and empower patients!Building the Noise with Matt Toresco
