As a nurse who’s spent over 13 years on the front lines of New York City’s healthcare scene, I know authenticity when I see it—and let me tell you, "Relentless Health Value" and host Stacey Richter are the real deal. She doesn’t just interview guests—she ignites conversations that challenge the status quo. Through fearless questions and genuine curiosity, Stacey reveals transformative ideas that could shape the future of healthcare. Every episode leaves you more knowledgeable, more inspired, and more determined to make a real difference. This isn’t just a show—it’s a community of forward-thinkers who refuse to settle for anything less than a better, stronger system for all of us. If you’re serious about changing healthcare for the better, heed my advice: Run, not walk, to follow this podcast—and get to know the community!

Relentless Health Value is a must listen podcast - somehow dives deep while simultaneously summarizing at a basic level.

This is the most valuable business podcast I have found about the details and complexity of the business of the U.S. healthcare industry and its operations and financing. I’ve been in the business over 20 years and I’m still learning new things from this podcast. Expert guests who are interviewed by a knowledgeable and very pleasant interviewer.

Thank you for you work. It is evident that this podcast is a passion project. The topics, material and guests are all highly relevant and spot on. It reminds me of Freakonomics. I’m obsessed.

I’m the CEO of a large senior living company who has always geeked out on Medicare payment innovation, but was always bored and disengaged from our own health insurance spend on a self- funded plan. It wasn’t until I listened to several episodes of relentless health value that were focused towards c-suite audiences that I began to understand that population health and the triple aim should be viewed in all aspects of insurance and health coverage. I have since consumed this show frequently, while driving my health insurance brokers crazy with questions and accountability. This show has not only given me knowledge that has created confidence in guiding our strategy, but has given me the actual tools to make impactful change. I have reached out to several experts interviewed to utilize their services and ideas and have been able to use the CAA details to get transparency from my vendors. Thank you to Stacey and team for giving me what I need to provide the best possible care at a reasonable price to my coworkers and get beyond the insurance ‘noise’ and smokescreens to understand the opportunities at hand. Love this show and I tell everyone who will listen to educate themselves and tune in!

There are just a few podcasts that I listen to religiously. RelenetlessHealthValue is one of those. Stacey is a very inquisitive interviewer and subject matter expert on how the entire healthcare ecosystem functions (or does not function). She has a knack of finding the brightest of the bright and asking the right questions to unpack the reason healthcare is where it is and explore the real solutions of what we need to do to fix it.

Thank you for your work!!

If you can't find time to listen to the whole episode (even though it's a must for important details), just listen to Stacey's super informative and beautifully crafted summary at the beginning of each show. You'll know absolutely everything about U.S. healthcare from "bottom up": PBMs, ASOs, ACA, Medicare, value-based care, digital health, and many other topics that constitute the super complex animal that is the American healthcare system. Stacey Richter is the absolute expert. If you must choose only one U.S. healthcare system podcast, this should definitely be the one.

Just briefly wanted to mention how much I appreciate the ability to discuss complex issues in a way that enables listeners to follow and understand the extremely complicated world of healthcare!

As a state legislator, RHV is my single most valuable source of insights into to ways to improve healthcare policy.

This incomparable podcast by Stacey Richter is a must listen to for anyone interested in transforming the delivery of healthcare in America. Everyone she interviews outlines a clear path forward that we only need the courage to start down. I can’t wait each week for the next episode and only wish they were more.

Quite frankly, if you aren’t listening to the leading voice in healthcare and the problem solvers she candidly interviews weekly, then you can’t be a lifelong learner and supporter for a healthier healthcare system. Stacey Richter is a healthcare podcast savant. So don’t delay, put it at the top of your must listen to(s). I always leave with intrigue, a new idea or new approach to problem solving in the most bureaucratic of industries. The health of future generations depends on more joining the tribe of doing well by doing good.

This podcast takes nothing for granted and carefully examines healthcare piece by piece. Every episode is a focused deep dive into one particular aspect of the system and what’s working and what isn’t. The show covers an hour’s worth of material in about 30 min. Really the best use of your healthcare podcast time.

This podcast brings breaks down the many barriers in the healthcare system and the actions that all the players can have to influence change to bring more value to the consumer. Well worth your time, every time.

If you’re looking for ways to actually improve healthcare and you care about the US healthcare system not being a complete dumpster fire, then RHV needs to be a must-listen every time Stacey releases an episode. RHV is a refreshing ray of hope for change with “how-to” mixed in, giving the healthcare optimist a lighthouse amidst a sea of misaligned incentives, payer/provider shenanigans, and fundraising press releases.

Our present healthcare system or rather “sick care system” needs more attention given. Great podcasts!!

I am always on the lookout for newsletters, podcasts, books and articles to advance my understanding of the US healthcare system at an early stage of my career. Nothing has come close to what Stacey Richter consistently puts together for her listeners. The quality of guest, level of technical rigor, concision, and contextual significance across a huge swathe of topics is simply astounding. I’ve learned as much or more from RHV since I started listening in 2021 than from all the books I’ve read in the same period. This podcast is indispensable for any industry professional to keep with the times and to be a conscientious actor in the fraught system of today. Thank you, Stacey!

If you could only listen to one podcast on the transformation of healthcare this is the one. Stacey is amazing and right on point. Scott Conard,MD

I have recommended this podcast to literally hundreds of people (including onstage at our recent customer success summit). Anyone who cares about the sustainability of our healthcare system owes it to themselves to give RHV a permanent spot on their playlist. Always smart, often provocative, scrupulously fair, it’s well worth the listen

RHV is an amazing podcast and sorely needed in the healthcare community. I tell everyone about it because I’ve interacted with Stacey personally and know her passion isn’t just for the podcast but it’s the drive in what she does. I’m a recent listener and have learned so much from #399 & 400 her manefesto, episode 410 was packed with knowledge, #407 was great, etc. Let’s start a hundred RHV communities across the US where we implement small experiments so change is grass roots and ubiquitous. Then the status quo will concede.

I scoured the podcast world to find a healthcare industry podcast that offers intelligent, relevant, clear information and dialogue. I found it. Stacey and RHV cover the US healthcare industry across all sectors while managing to go deep within those sectors. Most importantly, she highlights how all of those sectors interact, supposedly w the patient at the center, while performing as businesses that are really driven by capitalism. Stacey is smart, very smart. Professionally produced with great guests, I never miss an episode.

RHV and Stacey Richter deliver easy to digest and understandable shows on all parts of the healthcare ecosystem. RHV and AhealthcareZ are my go tos for finding resources on any particular topic. I share both with the leadership of OVN (largest MSK network in America) routinely. Thank you Stacey!

I have my MPH and have worked in the field for over a decade but this show has clarified SO MANY concepts and “buzz words” into tangible frameworks for me. I even recommended it to my firm’s entire healthcare sector. Very well researched, facilitated, and accessible content—highly recommended!

Relentless Health Value connects the listener to the some of the most innovative, informative and important people in healthcare today. The topics are always pertinent and the guests are always engaging though leaders. The host, Stacey Richter, possesses deep understanding of our healthcare system and it shows in her unique insights. This podcast is a must listen if you want to understand where healthcare is today and the direction it is moving towards. ***I had originally written the above review a couple years ago. Stacey and her team continue to produce the best podcast in healthcare. The most recent episodes were home runs — really taking a deep dive into the incentives, decisions and motivations behind todays healthcare challenges. Always looking forward to the next episode.

It doesn’t take an expert to conclude that US healthcare is overpriced and often lacking in quality. But host Stacey Richter rounds up all the experts who can explain why we’re stuck in the healthcare quagmire we’re trapped in. We’ve got problems ranging from consolidated healthcare systems charging excessive prices, pharmacy benefit managers using rebates to short-change patients, and insurers failing to process claims correctly. It’s enough to make you throw up your hands in frustration, but the podcast also features many people who are working to make things right for patients and customers. There’s no one simple fix, but this podcast contains valuable insights on what actions can be taken to make things better for consumers and patients.

On a per minute invested basis, you will learn more about all aspects of the business of US healthcare by listening to the Relentless Health Value Podcast than any other media. If you are serious about beginning to understand the complexity of the forces influencing medical care delivery, I urge you to listen to the fabulous Stacey Richter and her guests. Should be required listening for all physicians and anyone else advocating for their patients or family.

This podcast is SO helpful and insightful. Every episode is gold

Binge listener here…Relentless Health Value is a comprehensive, in-depth, and insightful dialogue on improving healthcare in the U.S.. Stacey does a fabulous job keeping healthcare topics light, engaging, and human (translation: not boring). Great job, Stacey

Stacey and the RHV team do an impressive job making each week’s episode thought provoking and well-informed. I look forward to listening in, as I know I’ll learn something new and be a bit sharper in how I approach my job day-to-day.

Whether you’re a broker, consultant, point solution provider or in healthcare, this is the best healthcare podcast out there. Regardless of the topic, Stacey leads thought provoking discussions every week. I look forward to hearing a new episode every week. Thank you for leading this important work.

I listen to all of the healthcare podcast out there and this one is the best!

This show provides key insight from experts that you won’t find anywhere else. It paints the picture of our how our healthcare is tangled, and who benefits because of it. Whether it’s drug pricing, PBM shenanigans, hospital billing, or market trends that are challenging the status quo, this podcast is worth your time. I’ve shared many of the episodes with my pharmacy colleagues who have replied “I didn’t know that’s how it worked.” Now they do thanks to Stacey and her team.

I’ve learned so much, shared so many episodes with colleagues, clients and collaborators and gained so much value from regularly listening to RHV. Stacey is an expert at distilling down big complex ideas and getting the most from every one of her guests. Thank you for Stacey for providing the platform for so many that believe that we can consistently do better in healthcare. Will always maintain a position in my rotation.

I am a long time listener to the RHV podcast and have gained substantially in my understanding of the complex healthcare ecosystem. So shame on me for not writing a review sooner! Stacey Richter has now had nearly 400 accomplished entrepreneurs and healthcare leaders on her show. They cover a broad swath of the various constituencies. I don’t know anyone who has the depth and breadth of understanding that Stacey has. The time she puts into these shows reflected in part by her detailed show notes unambiguously demonstrates her commitment to the transformation and to quality patient care. Stacey, I wouldn’t miss your show for anything! Keep up the amazing work. Steve Schutzer MD

Excellent guests, engaging and educational discussions presented without fluff. A must listen for anyone interested in affecting change in healthcare delivery.

As a benefits professional at a large company I think Stacey’s podcast is the most forward leaning, informative and thoughtful podcasts out there. Any fellow benefits professional should check this out to learn that is really happening with our collective healthcare benefits dollars.

I’ve been subscribed to this must-listen podcast for years. It just keeps getting better. With so many people in healthcare practicing “innovation theater” and bloviating versus driving real change, it’s a breath of fresh air to listen to Relentless Health Value. Stacey is a great interviewer and gets a wide array of guests from the key areas of healthcare who have actually driving the quadruple aim. If you are new to the topic, her show notes link to past episodes that can give the 101 when she’s tackling a topic at the 401 level.

For anyone trying to stay abreast of developments in the healthcare space, there’s none better than Stacey Richter’s Relentless Health Value. As Stacey has demonstrated in her insightful interviews, there are a zillion nuances behind every soundbite, and she explores them all with a fascinating mix of innovators, thought leaders, and hands-on providers.

This show is singularly responsible for giving me a 400 level education in so many complex areas of the healthcare industrial complex. Stacey’s manner of interviewing, questioning, probing and summarizing for her audience is unrivaled in the healthcare podcast world. While she hosts vendors and players in the echo system, it never feels like an advertisement or puff piece- it’s always a learning experience with meaty subject matter and subject matter experts.

Stacey’s podcasts distill complex healthcare issues into highly intuitive and highly accessible narratives. Her program has almost single handedly educated the senior leadership team of my Fortune 50 enterprise on the essential systems in healthcare in order for us to make big bets in this non-core-business industry. I’m not aware of any content program, regardless of industry or channel, that provides as many insights per minute as Stacey’s show does.

Short and to the point. Stacy Richter has great guests who know how the US health system works and ways to make meaningful change for the benefit of payers. I love her candor when exposing the more sinister practices of all the big players profiting from our broken system.

New listener to RHCV. I lead the Houston Business Coalition on Health. RHCV is best podcast I have heard for employers to understand the issues and options for better healthcare value. Will recommend as a go to for our members. Chris Skisak, PhD, executive director.

For some reason the host talks like a robot and had a really weird staccato.

Amazing podcast. She teaches her viewers so much about the different issues across the health care spectrum.

Truly amazing. No selling, no self promotion, just a deep dive into a relevant topic with direct questions and honest answers. I share these episodes with friends and coworkers in the industry all the time.

The BEST healthcare podcast that digs deep on the realities about the patient experience, “quality care” narrative, the incentives in healthcare and how it can deeply impact accessibility and the nuances important to being inclusive in healthcare. Stacey Richter will open your eyes to the WHY for the complexity of healthcare and how hard things are to change in a measurable way but also engage her listeners to learn and act rather than feel hopeless. As a clinician and someone working to improve safety net health dealing with the “unsexy” work of improving PATIENT experience, access to care and at the same time SAVING State healthcare system’s money, I feel like this podcast is mission driven to really challenge healthcare to drastically improve for ALL PATIENTS receiving care and prioritizing patient experience by building awareness around incentives, strategies, and realities on the business of healthcare and providing approachable and refreshing thought leadership!

If you’re working to improve healthcare or just to know what is being done to improve it there is no better source for education on best practices and innovation. Thank you Stacey for what you and your team are doing here.

The most detailed healthcare podcast that dives into details about real incentives driving healthcare.

Relentless Health Value provides the most balanced, comprehensive and well-rounded perspective of U.S. healthcare, along with realistic approaches for making improvements that those of us in the industry should be aligned & engaged with in order to play a role in bringing about much needed change. With gratitude to Stacey Richter and team for this outstanding work!

Stacey, host of the Relentless Health Value podcast, highlights all aspects of health care and more in this can’t miss podcast! The host and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!
