CMS Isn't Asking Anymore: Inside the Mandatory Bundle Era (with Tim Elliott, CEO of Navvis)

Second time's the charm! Blake welcomes back Navvis CEO, Tim Elliott, for a new conversation that goes deeper than round one.

Blake and Tim get into why CMS finally ditched its "voluntary" posture on value-based care, what actually happens in the first 60 days when a mandatory bundle lands on a health system, and why specialists, not just primary care, are now squarely in CMS's crosshairs.

They also cover physician enterprise 2.0, where AI is actually moving the needle on burnout (spoiler: it's not just ambient scribes), and Tim's read on what health systems get wrong heading into 2027.

Genuinely one of Blake's favorite VBC conversations this season.

And if you missed Tim's first appearance on Claims Denied from June 2026, be sure to check out that episode here.
