Medicaid Payers & ABA Operators - Outcomes-Based Payment Adoption

She sells half as much therapy and gets paid more for it. Most Applied Behavior Analysis providers spent the past year exiting entire states over Medicaid rates. Dr. Suzanne Goh's company opened clinics instead. Cortica delivers less than half the standard ABA volume. Health plans reimburse it at higher rates anyway. Here's why that works 👇 🧠 Treat the medical drivers first. Sleep problems, seizures, gastrointestinal, and metabolic conditions produce the exact behaviors that 40-hour-a-week programs then spend hours managing. 📊 Measure everything. A whole-child scorecard tracks 10 domains across medical, developmental, behavioral, and quality-of-life outcomes, reported straight to payer partners. 💰 Pick investors who protect the model: CVS Health Ventures, Optum, Ascension, Morgan Health, and the Autism Impact Fund, which represents families raising autistic children. 📈 The timing is remarkable. Medicaid and CHIP spending on ABA rose 421% between 2021 and 2025. In August, CMS told states that more services are not always better. Goh built this roughly a decade before the federal government reached the same conclusion. And she is willing to say what the industry won't. Asked which providers survive the current squeeze, she didn't hedge, "I do think some should not survive." Her 10-year goal isn't to build the biggest autism company in America. It's for the category to disappear entirely into pediatric medicine. 👉 Read the full story in Forbes: https://lnkd.in/g8NS-bgf What would it take for outcomes-based payment to become the norm in pediatric behavioral health? I'd like to hear from the operators and payers in my network. Suzanne Goh, Neil Hattangadi, MD, MSc, Christopher Male, Martha R. Temple, #WomensHealth #ValueBasedCare #Autism #HealthcareInnovation #WomenFounders

Business & Technology Leaders - Tech Budget Priorities Amid Volatility

Open call for experts: Where Are Business Leaders Focusing Their Tech Budgets As Tech Stock Market Volatility Persists This report is for Forbes. Open call to all experts to participate. Thanks! See details and link below. AI and tech stocks continue on a volatile trajectory, with Goldman Sachs reporting that hedge funds are selling US tech stocks at a record pace, and Bloomberg reporting that big tech needs to justify AI spending. Meanwhile, small, medium, and large business leaders, decision-makers, and executives, who are modernizing their tech and operations, are left to figure out the road ahead. Amid this volatility, a new report from Forrester Research agrees that tech leaders face “sustained pressure to deliver value, modernize for AI, govern at speed, and maintain trust — all amid persistent volatility and budget scrutiny”. However, the same report found that more than 80% of business and technology leaders expect budget increases for 2027, highlighting strategic areas of investment for next year. For this report, I am looking for expert sources to provide clear signals for small, medium, and large business owners and decision-makers to help them navigate the current landscape and plan for 2027.

Laid-Off Meta Employees & Surviving Managers - Psychological Toll

8,000 pink slips delivered via automated email. Today, Meta cut 10% of its global workforce. They did it as a cold, strategic capital move to fund their automation infrastructure. While the tech world and market analysts obsess over stock efficiency, I think we are completely ignoring the absolute demolition of trust in a workplace defined by manufactured ambiguity. I spent the day at the Workhuman summit in London after a raw conversation with psychologist Susan David, Ph.D. about this exact corporate behavior. We talked about the psychological wreckage left behind when leadership treats human beings like disposable software updates. I feel zero interest in writing a generic business report that reads like a corporate PR statement. For my upcoming Forbes investigative analysis, I am opening a direct, unvarnished call for sources. I want the truth. Who needs to slide into my DMs right now: - If you were one of the 8,000 cut loose today, I want to know the real mental tax of the last month of rumors. What went through your mind when that email hit your inbox? How do you rebuild professional trust after being treated like an operational footnote? - If you’re a manager who survived the cut but is now expected to magically motivate a terrified, deeply cynical team in a fractured culture, I want to hear your perspective. The Parameters: - We are completely bypassing proprietary corporate metrics or internal data. This is strictly about the human, psychological reality. Your legal agreements are safe with me. - I will use pseudonyms to protect your identity. Your future professional footprint will be completely protected. - If selected, I’ll send a brief, secure email questionnaire you can answer on your own terms. Note: Editorial space is premium. Reaching out doesn’t guarantee a quote in the final piece, but your raw perspective will directly shape the depth of this narrative. If you are ready to speak out about the reality behind the press release, DM me directly or drop a comment below. Let's talk.

Sports Journalists - DOJ Probe Into NFL Streaming Paywalls

Since I began writing about industry and government decisions that are impacting consumers in the entertainment space, I've found myself explaining what's happening in the realm of sports more than I ever have before (which used to be never, to be clear). It's a position that I didn't expect to be in, but consumer-focused writing has required learning about sectors that cross into the TV landscape as that's my chosen concentration. So I wrote about the DOJ's investigation into the NFL for Forbes, explaining the circumstances that seemed to have triggered it which is centered on the cost of tuning into games. The NFL likely won't be the sole major sports league to face a probe by the federal agency since the issue looks to be about streaming TV and the pay-walls that are making it difficult not only to find games but also expensive to watch. If any sports journalists, or folks deeply invested in this topic, have insights they can share that further the conversation, I'd love to hear from you.

Workplace Behavior Experts & Senior Leaders - Everyday Etiquette Wins

I’m writing a Forbes article on simple, everyday (even "old-fashioned") gestures and etiquette that still make a strong positive impression in today’s modern workplace, particularly as work becomes more digital and interactions more fast-paced and AI-involved. If you're a, workplace behavior expert, senior leader (VP, C-suite), or communication & etiquette specialists, I'd welcome your perspectives by May 19, 6pm GMT. Questions: 1. What are 1–2 of the most common etiquette missteps you see professionals making today? 2. What factors are influencing changes in politeness, courtesy, or thoughtfulness in how people interact at work? 3. What are 1–2 simple gestures or habits that still go a long way in making a positive impression today? 4. What overlooked aspects of workplace courtesy you think more people should be aware of? If you would like to share your thoughts, please respond to my Qwoted request: https://lnkd.in/exhhge8m or complete this form: https://lnkd.in/efr9yM_5 Concise, quote-ready responses are especially appreciated. Personal experiences, observations, or specific examples are especially valuable. Thanks so much!🙏 #journorequest #journorequests
