From Multiplan Insider to Multiplan Disruptor: The Daffodil Health Story (with Navin Nagiah, CEO of Daffodil Health)

In this latest episode of Claims Denied, Blake Madden sits down with Navin Nagiah, co-founder and CEO of Daffodil Health.

Navin spent nearly two years inside Multiplan trying to modernize their repricing model from the inside — went to the board three times, couldn't get alignment, and left to build the AI-native version himself.

Blake and Navin get into the No Surprises Act arbitration imbalance (88% provider win rate), why the "percent of savings" model is built on a fake pricing anchor, and Daffodil's vision to evolve from OON repricing into a full smart plan platform.

Plus, Navin shares why a 10-day silent meditation retreat is a founder development hack.
