The Stakes Are High: Why Facilitated Visits Will Save the System

In this first Disrupted Podcast episode of 2026, Jamie and Scott unpack the reality of a new “High Needs ACO” and what it demands from frontline care teams. Scott explains why spending more in primary care reduces total cost, how care management codes are expanding, and why the real win is keeping patients out of the hospital through proactive, consistent engagement.

The centerpiece is a clear operational playbook for facilitated visits: facilitators gather the full story in the home or facility, loop in the provider through audio/video when possible, document in the system, and never delete encounters—because billing isn’t just revenue, it’s the data trail that proves prevention works. The conversation closes with the bigger picture: this isn’t a workflow tweak—it’s a way to reduce hospital dependency, protect families, and help stabilize the healthcare economy.
