MD/MBA student and HBHI fellow James Buchanan asked a question at an event on entrepreneurship and health care innovation that sparked debate on transparency in health care pricing.

Concerns about low physician participation in Medicaid have long motivated policy reforms, but the extent to which enrolled physicians actually care for Medicaid patients remains unclear. To assess patterns of Medicaid participation among physicians, we linked physician enrollment files to Medicaid administrative claims from the period 2019–21, focusing on five physician specialties: cardiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, primary care, and psychiatry.

We propose straightforward principles to foster an evaluation-forward operating system that can transform the adoption of clinical artificial intelligence from a leap of faith into a stepwise, trust-building process.
