Episode Overview:
The prescription journey has become one of healthcare's most frustrating operational bottlenecks – fragmented pricing, disconnected systems, and zero transparency when it matters most.

With over 25 years building and scaling businesses, Joseph brings a rare combination of operational execution and strategic vision to one of healthcare's toughest challenges.

From provider systems to pharmacies to payers, Joseph shares how Buzz Health is delivering real-time cost visibility across the entire prescription ecosystem.
Join us to discover how upstream pricing intelligence is reducing friction, improving adherence, and making medication affordability actionable at the point of care. Let's go!
