Dr. Pedram Afshar, M.D., Ph.D., is the founder and CEO of Escher Health, a leader in making enrollment in Medicaid and government benefit programs easy for staff and patients. During medical training, he became frustrated to see patients who were eligible for programs, like Medicaid, but not enrolled. Dr. Afshar noticed many problems with the standard enrollment process and set out to create a solution.
By adopting a fresh approach that places the right people in the right programs, including AI-enabled enrollment, health plans, the healthcare industry will be in a better position to weather impending federal cuts – and maybe even end up better for it.
