PopHealth Week: From Network Discounts to Population Health with Frank Roby, Averify

PopHealth Week: From Network Discounts to Population Health with Frank Roby, Averify

Author: Healthcare NOW Radio and Podcast Network - Radio and Podcasts for the Healthcare Industry May 3, 2026 Duration: 28:03
On this episode Fred and Gregg welcome Frank Roby, Chairman and CEO of Averify LLC, the Dallas-based company behind Healthcare's Fair Price Index. Roby challenges one of the most stubborn myths in employer health plan management: that price, quality, and member risk can be managed separately. Using Averify's proprietary Variability Cost Index®, Roby explains how independent benchmarking of medical claims data exposes the pricing ambiguity hidden inside every network discount and how that clarity cascades into better population health outcomes. The conversation covers GLP-1 drug spending, musculoskeletal care design, the equity failures of high-deductible health plans, voluntary benefits, and the accountability obligations the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 now places on every plan sponsor.
