In this episode, Jeremy Zug takes a strategic pause to interview a true healthcare game changer: Dr. Jeremy Friese, founder and CEO of Humata Health.Dr. Friese isn't just a tech executive; he’s a "recovering Mayo Clinic physician" who spent two decades in the trenches as an interventional radiologist.

After witnessing the systemic failures of healthcare during his mother’s battle with cancer, he dedicated his career to fixing the "broken fax machine" of the industry.We dive deep into the world of Prior Authorization—the ultimate bottleneck in patient care. Dr. Friese explains how Humata is using AI to turn administrative friction into a thing of the past, reducing provider burnout and ensuring that "Barb the nurse" can get back to what she does best: caring for patients.

We explore the "AI arms race," why payers actually want providers to have better technology, and how the new CMS regulations are acting as a regulatory tailwind for the entire industry.
