When Physicians Should Outsource, Sell, or Lead with Jeff Bailet, MD of Altais

45min | 07/28/2021

Description

Dr. Jeff Bailet is president and chief executive officer of Altais, a subsidiary of Blue Shield of California. Altais was formed to help physicians and their practices reduce administrative burden, spend more time with patients, and improve access to quality, affordable health care. Dr. Bailet has more than 25 years of healthcare leadership experience having served as executive vice president of Blue Shield of California’s Health Care Quality and Affordability division, executive vice president at Aurora Health Care and President of Aurora Health Care Medical Group and CMO of PacMed Clinics, a multispecialty medical group in Seattle.

He also currently chairs the federal Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC), established by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA).

Like me, he’s a board-certified otolaryngologist having completed residency at UCLA and holds a master of science with concentration in Environmental Health.

Given his breadth of leadership experience, we discuss how he arrived there, advice he’d give up and comers and then broader questions like where he’d like to see change about the US healthcare system and why physicians need a seat at the table. We also talk about trends physician practices, why smaller practices are good for patients, and what to look for if you’re considering merging with a larger practice or selling your practice.

As a physician, you routinely check your patients' health. But when was the last time you checked the financial health of your practice? Request your free revenue cycle assessment and learn more from today's sponsor, CareCloud, at www.doctorpodcastnetwork.com/carecloud

About Succeed in Medicine

Was your training enough to handle everything physician life demands? From lawsuits to leadership, career decisions to challenging conversations, balancing the personal with the professional — not enough was addressed in medical school, residency or fellowship. This show fills those gaps so you can live up to the expectations that come with the white coat — not just in the exam room, but in all the places your MD follows you. Your host, Dr. Bradley Block, a private practice ENT, is right there with you — navigating the same challenges and bringing in world-class guests to teach, as he puts it, “everything we should have been learning while we were memorizing Kreb’s cycle.” With nearly 500 episodes and close to half a million downloads, Brad has built a trusted space where physicians come for brass-tacks, immediately-applicable advice. You don’t need another certification. You need a podcast that covers personal finance, private practice, side-gigs, main-gigs, reacting to bad reviews, misinformation, social media, charting, parenting, communicating, negotiating, leading, managing, teaching, learning and what to do when someone yells, “Is there a doctor on board?”
