Every time healthcare gets too complicated, a middleman shows up to absorb the complexity.
In this week's Middlemen report by Healthcare Huddle, I break down the next one forming in real time: the AI broker.
With thousands of AI tools flooding health systems — ambient documentation, prior auth automation, RCM optimization, clinical decision support — most organizations don't have the bandwidth to evaluate them well. That gap is exactly where the AI broker will plant its flag.
I trace the origin story, map out where they sit in the food chain, and walk through how the money will likely flow. I also discuss where the incentive misalignments will show up, the same way they did with PBMs.
The broker is coming (dun dun dunnnnnn...)
The more important question is whether we build the model with the right incentives from the start, or spend the next decade complaining about it.
Full breakdown in this week's Middlemen report.

Really impressive. Plenty of companies get interest and pilots. Production-scale adoption is very different thing👏
