Way back in Season 1 of our Healthcare on the Rocks podcast, we talked with Josh Reimer, the Director of Channel Partnerships at Included Health, about many of the challenges of today's healthcare system. Since then, Included Health has joined the Springbuk Activate Partner Marketplace, which enables Springbuk clients to see how they can improve care outcomes for members with complex specialty conditions. With the help of Included Health, employers with high-cost claimants can lower costs, provide better outcomes, and improve the satisfaction of their members.
Listen, or perhaps re-listen, to this encore episode while Josh describes how Included Health leverages its data science and clinical expertise, along with a network of 4,000 leading nationwide experts, for a review of a diagnosis or treatment plan recommendation. We hope you enjoy this special encore episode.

Imagine you’ve just received a life-changing diagnosis: maybe it’s cancer, maybe it’s ALS. Whatever it is, the last thing you would want to worry about is finding the best specialist or questioning if your prognosis is correct.
That’s where an Expert Medical Opinion solution can help. Josh Reimer, Director of Channel Partnerships at Included Health, joined us to review many of the challenges of our current healthcare system:
- Confusion: 50% of individuals struggle to understand their insurance
- Low engagement: 33% of individuals avoid medical care altogether
- Lack of access: >16,000 physician offices closed due to COVID
- High costs: 30% of healthcare spend is considered waste
He then explained how an EMO solution can help break down those barriers to simplify the healthcare experience, delivering access to 4000 of the top clinical specialists and subspecialists nationwide.
